## Description

In this zany twist on the legend of King Midas and his golden touch, a boy acquires a magical gift that turns everything his lips touch into chocolate! Kids will eat this up for summer reading or anytime!Can you ever have too much of your favorite food? John Midas is about to find out….The Chocolate Touch has remained a favorite for millions of kids, teachers, and parents for several generations. It's an enjoyable story that pulls in even reluctant readers.

Review: Great Book & Easy read !! - My 7 year old child loved the book. Nice book with a good moral.
Review: Perfectly paced - 'The Chocolate Touch' by Patrick Skene Catling is an old book, unlike most of the others I select for my book clubs. Its copyright dates back to 1952! And that’s not the only thing that makes it different from the books I usually choose. Another important distinction is that it has a clear moral, something I usually avoid. But the story is such fun! Plus, it’s about chocolate, so it’s already a win, isn’t it? John Midas loves chocolate. He can eat it all the time. Or so he thinks. It is only when everything that touches his lips turns to chocolate that he begins to realise that there might just be a limit to the amount of chocolate he can eat. At first, no one believes him. How could they? He has to be lying. How can everything he puts in his mouth turn to chocolate? That’s absurd! Eventually, however, everyone realises he is telling the truth. Even the doctor has no choice but to believe him. The question is, of course, what can he do about it except to look at him as an exciting specimen? With all the Midas touch references, The Chocolate Touch is both unique and familiar. It’s perfectly paced and an utter delight.

### ⭐ Poor quality of print
*by R***L on 4 June 2020*

Book is good but quality of pages and printing are poor compared to the price paid. Is this a cheaper Indian imprint ??
