K-3Smart about... series.
Illustrated by
Charise Mericle Harper
&
Maryann Cocca-Leffler.
Presented as a boy's school report, this book uses photos and childlike drawings with dialogue balloons to impart information about the cacao tree and chocolate's history, production methods, and nutrition. The book's light tone and tasty topic are sure to appeal to young readers. An experiment, recipe (using chocolate chips, marshmallows, and chow mein noodles), and chocolate facts are appended.
