From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6?At age 18, in 1876, Hershey started his own candy business, and, after some failures, went on to build a town and a chocolate factory in a cornfield and named them after himself. Today, Hershey, PA, attracts millions of tourists. Thousands of orphaned and disadvantaged young people have graduated from the Milton Hershey School, which he and his wife founded. And Hershey's candies are recognized worldwide. This biography is a well-rounded presentation that shows the successes and difficulties of this entrepreneur's life. The black-and-white somewhat grainy illustrations are reminiscent of photographs of the period. Average fare about the life of a highly creative man.?Pamela K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Milton and the Hershey Factory, March 17, 2006

By	Barry McColeman "Happy Dad" (Tacoma, Wa. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This booked was purchased for my third grade son to use for a biography book report. It was perfect. Not to hard, relevant facts and enjoyable for a parent to read along with. My son took a long a box of Hershey bars to class and passed them out after his oral report. The book report and the candy got a great review.
