Customer Reviews

It's about chocolate. About sibling rivalry.About resilience

Louie kid loves chocolate so much that his brother bets him he can't go without it -- and promises Choco Louie a new skateboard if he can resist his beloved chocolate. It's a simple book, but you'll enjoy reading it to the kiddies because it satirizes marketing and branding (with all the faux chocolate-based products) and another side benefit: It playfully tweaks sibling rivalry and teasing. Read it to siblings -- they'll giggle with recognition as one kid antagonizes the other by tempting him with chocolate in scenarios that are wacky as Clouseau in the Pink Panther films. Finally, it's about a little boy named Louie who faces temptation with resilience and sticks to his vow to resist it. It's about chocolate. It's about sibling rivalry. It's about time.

This book is wondeful. The pictures were colorful and fun.

This book is great. It would be wonderful for small children to hear
