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 disastrous. This is a great chapter book for the kids to just have fun to read. I think this may teach the kids lessons that don’t take things for granted. Hopefully the lesson we would learn is a life lesson out of this story. I loved reading this story!
