This is a great Book! The Chocolate Touch is a children's book by Patrick Skene Catling, first published in the USA in 1952. John Midas is delighted when, through a magical gift, everything his lips touch turns into chocolate. The story is patterned after the myth of King Midas, whose magic turned everything he touched into gold. This book was hilarious. My favourite part would have to be when he touched stuff and it would turn into chocolate and he would eat it, so funny. I loved the moral of the story, which is that you shouldn’t be greedy and that too much of anything is bad. I also loved the way the lesson was taught to young John. At first he didn’t care if he ate too much chocolate, but then he experienced what would happen if you ate too much chocolate and now he will never forget that lesson and neither will the readers. This is an absolutely hilarious book and you could easily finish it in a couple of sittings. This is a great book to read with your little ones at night. Overall, this is a fantastic book! 5/5

John Midas loves chocolate. He loves it so much that he’ll eat it any hour of any day.

I’m surprised because one little piece of chocolate can turn everything into chocolate. For example Instead of orange juice it was chocolate juice.

I didn’t like that it was to small. If you eat to much candy it will be bad for you.

Weak and stupid story line.
