4.0 out of 5 stars Where does chocolate come from?, June 4, 2004

This review is from: From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate (Start to Finish (Lerner Hardcover)) (Hardcover)

Has your child ever asked you the question of where chocolate comes from? My kids are full of questions and this book is a great way to answer one of those questions. My second grader was able to read this book with great ease (he's autistic). My 3 year old was amazed at where chocolate came from. The photos are wonderful compliments to the story. There is a table of contents, glossary and index included in the book. This is a great addition to a social studies lesson about Central and South America or food processing. Worth reading at home or in the classroom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not completely accurrate, August 30, 2011

By 

Veggie (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate (Start to Finish (Lerner Hardcover)) (Paperback)

This book really should be called "From Cocoa Bean to MILK Chocolate" It describes the process of making chocolate but states that "milk and sugar are added to the cocoa butter to make chocolate". This is completely inaccurate as milk is really just an optional ingredient along with nuts, dried fruit, etc. This aside, I thought that the book was very thorough and a good length.
