The Chocolate Touch Left on me!

The Chocolate Touch is a book that will leave you hungry! The story tells of a young boy who loves chocolate. Maybe even too much! It is all he dreams about! Finally he is taught a lesson by being given a single piece of chocolate that will make a selfish boy realize that chocolate is not the only thing in life. This book is perfect for someone who likes to get caught in a good book and has a sweet tooth!

Great Story that gets your Kids Reading

The Chocolate Touch is a take-off of the King Midas story.But, instead of turning everything he touches to gold, John Midas finds that everything he touches with his lips, turns to chocolate. Of course, at first he thinks this is great. But as time passes, John finds life is getting difficult. When he forgets and kisses his mother, he really begins to panic. This is a classic, be careful what you wish for story, that all kids will love. Easy to read with funny story events that keep kids turning pages to the end. Highly recommended for 2nd - 4th graders.

This book was excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book.It was the best book I ever read.I thought this book should get an award for the best chocolate book.I wish I was John because I just love chocolate.

I liked the book because it was about chocolate.

Chocolate Touch was great because it was funny. I like the part when John Midas was playing the trumpet and it turned into chocolate. I also liked it when he was taking a test and he put his pencil in his mouth, and it turned into chocolate. When he tried to write with it, he couldn't.

This book iz interesting, even when u get older.

This book is about a boy who buys a box of chocolate in a shop. But when he gets home, only 1 piece of choclolate. he eats, and the next day all the things his lips touched, were turned into chocolate-even his MOM!!!!!
