SummaryHenry loves chocolate so much, it practically runs through his veins. Chocolate cake, chocolate cereal, chocolate syrup, chocolate milk, and chocolate cookies—and that’s just breakfast! Still, it comes as a shock when he suddenly breaks out in chocolaty brown spots and is diagnosed with . . . Chocolate Fever. And, rather than be poked and prodded by doctors, Henry runs away, starting the adventure of a lifetime. But at the end of it all, the question remains: Is there a cure for Chocolate Fever? |

Chocolate Fever fever
Rating:
When I was a kid I watched the ABC Weekend Special nearly every Saturday morning. And I remember one cartoon it featured called CHOCOLATE FEVER. It was a wonderful cartoon and very enjoyable. Now as an adult I've read the book on which it was based and wish I had read it at the same young age at which I had watched the delightful cartoon. For the book is at least equally delightful.
This little book is everything you could possibly need for an exciting, zany, and even witty kid's story, particularly for kids who are just starting to read "chapter books". Featuring a somewhat normal young boy (normal in every aspect except his diet) who, because of an insatiable chocolate addiction, develops chocolate spots all over his body, CHOCOLATE FEVER, throws the reader into a series of adventurous twists and turns that never gets boring and always keeps the reader wondering what in the world will happen next...right down to the very last page!
Every children's book of this kind needs a very careful mixture -- a delicate balance, if you will -- of the zany over-the-top kind of scenarios and the more down-to-earth situations. And, perhaps most difficult of all, the author has to be able to present these things to the kids so that the kids reading this book will know which is which. I think Robert Kimmel Smith has succeeded in doing this. CHOCOLATE FEVER has my stamp of approval all over it.
How much do you love chocolate?

Henry Green loves chocolate and eats it at every meal. He even puts chocolate syrup on his mashed potatoes! One day, Henry finds himself covered with large, brown spots that taste like chocolate. At the hospital, he is diagnosed with "Chocolate Fever." The doctor, excited about all the fortune and fame that will come his way with the discovery of a new disease, forgets about his patient. Henry runs away and then his adventures REALLY begin.

Chocolate Fever
by
Robert Kimmel Smith
Chocolate Fever was a funny and interesting book about a boy named Henry Green who loved chocolate. He ate so much of it that he developed chocolate fever and got big, brown, chocolate spots all over him. The characters seemed real and I felt I knew each one because the author described them and their personalities so well.
My favorite character was Mac. Mac worked at a chocolate store where he became Henry's friend. He also drove a truck to deliver chocolate candy bars. He was caring because he helped Henry when he was in trouble and no one else would help him. Mac was black and there were very few black people so he got stared at a lot. When people were staring at Henry, Mac gave him good and helpful advice because he understood how Henry felt.
One of my favorite parts of the story was when Henry was in the nurse's office and his chocolate spots popped. It scared the nurse and she started screaming. Another funny part was when two thieves, Louie and Lefty, hijacked the truck. While Mac was listing the different kinds of chocolate the thieves were stealing instead of expensive furs, he had a funny laugh he repeated after each type. The way the author described Mac's laugh made me feel like I could almost hear him and it made me laugh out loud. The thieves took Mac and Henry to their hideout. There were lots of dogs outside that smelled Henry's chocolate spots so they invaded the thieves' hideout. They knocked down Louie and Lefty trying to get to Henry so they could lick his chocolate spots.
I liked the way the story ended and I think you will to. I would recommend this book to all children because it is very funny and kids love funny stories.
