An Inspirational Life

This is an inspiring biography focused on Milton's life as a child and young man. You'll learn about the many challenges he overcame before founding his famous chocolate company, including two business failures. This book shows how hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude can bring success.

Interesting and Fun

We recently studied Milton Hershey in our homeschool. My children wanted to know more and this book was the answer. It contains a lot of information but does not bore the child. If you want to introduce your children to biographies, this is a great place to start. His life is not boring but exciting and meaningful. I recommend having hershey chocolate chip pancakes while reading this to the kids! :) (They loved that!)

Milton Hershey: Young Chocolatier

Excellent children's book on Milton Hershey. My husband read an adult book about Hershey and this book followed his story very well. I send a box each month to my grandchildren, who live a distance away. The books about Milton Hershey and Hershey, PA plus Hershey products were well received by my grandchildren.
