Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 3-5. Attractive, uncluttered layouts and smoothly flowing text present the origins of a chocolate bar, from a Ghana cocoa farm to a factory. The facts are clear and well organized; each spread shows a logical progression in the process, and sharp color photos and maps will help cement the concepts in readers' minds. A few facts about chocolate's cultural history in Central America and Europe are also included. Ridley spotlights the practice of "fair trade," but children may still need more context to understand exactly how this differs from less-enlightened business approaches. A fine resource for reports, this book may also interest browsers, who will be lured by its colorful, approachable pages. A summary of the chocolate-making process, a page of history about chocolate makers, and a glossary close this sturdy, useful title in the How It's Made series. Also suggest Robert Burleigh's Chocolate (2001). Gillian Engberg
