The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skeene Catling JFIC

John Midas loves chocolate more than anything in the world, including his friends and family. His greed is punished when he is given the chocolate touch. Everything John puts near his mouth turns to chocolate! It sounds great at first because everything from toothpaste to his pencil turns into delicious chocolate but it becomes disasterous. A very funny read for third grade and up. Kids will be interested to learn more about an ancient Greek myth about King Midas who was given the golden touch.

Food for thought: If you could turn anything to chocolate what would it be? AND Do you think John learned his lesson?
