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. . . .

Does anyone else remember this traumatizing book cover? John Midas (get it!?) gets his wish when everything he touches turns into chocolate.

This was a cure story about aboy who turned everything into chocolate.
I got annoyed by all the blank pages.

The tagged book is what made me fall in love with reading. I don‘t remember if the book was from a library, bought or given to me anyways, I remember being bored and started reading and the rest is history. I loved it so much I still have it. My kids read it and love it as well.

Crazeedi The dictionary and encyclopedias. I read them both. Loved words from early age. Also Mary Poppins 5y

Really enjoyed reading this with my first grade son! Gives plenty of opportunities to stop and check for comprehension 💙

I read this with my nine-year-old little girl. It‘s a cute story with a good moral, and it appears to be a classic for children, as both of my older daughters have read it too. It was originally printed in 1952, so an oldie but a goodie. I would consider this a strong third grade read aloud, or a fourth grade read alone. Higher readers could read it independently in third grade.

1. 4 Pics 1 Word
2. Not sure any more. I'm partial to sci fi, but I recently discovered there are a gazillion subgenres and became really confused. I'm more and more interested in memoirs and autobiographies, as well. I think I'm entering a phase of self-discovery.
3. Chocolate eggs
4. I don't have any friends to hang out with. I'm always with the fam.
5. Not sure yet. Dazzle me!

Our library is awesome! Took the #trollkins to a magic show with tricks based on books the kids can find in the library! #summervacay2017 #mommycamp #raisingreaders #supportyourlocallibrary

readinginthedark I just took my son to a magic show at the library, too! How funny! It wasn't book related, but there was some added comedy. Pretty entertaining! 7y

This book is on repeat in my house this month. It's hysterical and the perfect read aloud for my Kindergartener's #bedtime routine. https://www.beyondthebookends.com/2017/06/23/children-are-reading-this-month/hic...

Rabbitearsblog This looks fantastic!! 7y

I love this book! I read it to my kindergarten class, and we all laughed. I love how he makes his point without being preachy.
