Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith

This book is about this boy that likes to eat chocolate a lot. Every time he eats something, he puts chocolate in it. For example, the only cake he eats is chocolate and the only ice cream he eats is chocolate.

One day a lot of chocolate freckles came all over his body so he went to the doctor where he was told he had chocolate fever. Henry, the boy, started running and running until everybody stopped following him. Then he found a man who told him that he needed to go back to his family because everybody was looking for him. Then he went back to live with his family. He didn't eat chocolate again. When he woke up the next day, he didn't have any chocolate freckles. His mom called him to eat breakfast. He grabbed the cinnamon and poured it on his cereal. He thought about putting cinnamon on everything until he got "Cinnamon Fever."

All children and people who like chocolate a lot would enjoy reading this funny book. Henry does and says many funny things. For example, he even put chocolate on his sandwiches and spaghetti! Later he told a boy who wanted to beat him up that he had chocolate fever. The bully was scared of him. This is an easy, funny book to read. Most people will like it.
