I read this book with Lucas, my baby. I can not believe my baby can read this book now or that I never read it with any of my other kids. It is really cute and funny..we both enjoyed it.

3.5 - High nostalgia! This was a favorite growing up and I wore out my VHS of the short movie.

Read this with third graders. It was very cute and the students enjoyed it! Has the fun throwback feeling of older children’s books like those written by Dahl.

Wow! Interesting that you can tell that this book was written a long time ago. I enjoyed reading it though. Lots of fun. Henry loves chocolate a little too much and has to learn an important lesson.

Present day version - Pinkalicious...yes picture book vs. chapter book but oh how they are similar.
