Publisher Comments:

John midas loves chocolate. He loves it so much that he'll eat it any hour of any day. He doesn't care if he ruins his appetite. He thinks chocolate is better than any other food! But one day, after wandering into a candy store and buying a piece of their best chocolate, John finds out that there might just be such a thing as too much chocolate....

Review:

"An entertaining and humorous tale of a boy who gets much too much of a good thing." Children's Literature

Synopsis:

In this witty take on the legend of King Midas, John is about to learn that there is, indeed, such a thing as too much chocolate. Illustrations.

About the Author

Born in London, Patrick Skene Catling was educated there and at Oberlin College in the United States. As a Royal Canadian Air Force navigator and as a journalist, he has traveled extensively. His present home is in the Republic of Ireland.

The original appearance of The Chocolate Touch in 1952 stirred much reviewer enthusiasm. The New York Herald Tribune remarked, "it has already proved a hilarious success with children," and The Saturday Review said, "it is told with an engaging humor that boys and girls will instantly discover and approve."

The Choclate Touch is this baby-boomer's all time favorite. I've read it many times and I still have my very own copy. Rest assured that my grandchildren (when I have them) will have their very own copies, too.

When I was about 8 years old I got into a fight with a little boy in the library over this book. Guess who won?
