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.
