Short and small but good 
2005-04-18
This book has some very good info and pictures, but suffers from the fact that it is very short and very small. It measures a mere 6"X6". I bought it to read to a class, but I doubt they could even see it! Also, it is very short. There are nine photos with 1-2 sentences each. So basically nine page turns and you're done. It's extremely basic and appropriate for very young kids (2-5)only. Here is the entire text:
Page 1: Chocolate is made from cacao beans (photo of beans)
Page 2: First the cacao beans are cooked in ovens. The beans become very hot. (photo of oven)
Page 3: Then a machine grinds the beans (photo of machine)
Page 4: The beans become a thick paste. The paste is mixed with powdered milk and sugar. (photo of glass soup bowls of sugar, powdered milk and choc. paste)
Page 5: Machines mix everything together to make chocolate. The chocolate is very soft (photo of machine)
Page 6: The chocolate cools in pipes. When the chocolate is cooled it becomes thicker. (photo of pipes with choc. coming down)
Page 7: Now the choc. can be used to make candy. The choc. is put into molds to make candy bars. (photo of molds with choc.)
Page 8: The chocolate is cooled in the molds. As the chocolate cools, it hardens (photo of candy bars in molds)
Page 9: Chocolate can be used to make many different kinds of candy (photo of Kisss and bar)
That's it. So if you're looking for more in depth, check out a different book.
