Written by Patrick Skene Catling, The Chocolate Touch tells the story of John Midas, a boy who loves chocolate so much that he would happily eat it all day long. After discovering a mysterious coin and visiting a strange shop, John finds that everything he puts in his mouth turns into chocolate. At first, his unusual ability seems wonderful, but it soon causes unexpected problems that threaten his relationships and teach him an important lesson about greed, moderation, and appreciating what truly matters.
This humorous fantasy offers opportunities for students to analyze characters, make predictions, explore cause and effect, and examine themes of self-control, responsibility, consequences, and gratitude. Its imaginative premise and meaningful message make it an engaging choice for elementary reading instruction and classroom discussions.
