Fun for all

I ran across this book in Mt. Dora, Florida, in early December, 2004, while visiting friends. I believe I met Mr. Mark Newhouse at the time (the publisher). I bought the book and gave it to one of my grandchildren for Christmas (5 years old). He enjoyed the story and we have all enjoyed the candy recipe and the candy basket that can be made by tracing the one in the book, coloring it and then folding the finished piece into a box. It seems the Chocolate Train, while on his delivery rounds, becomes lonesome for his Chocolate Town. When he goes there, it has melted from the summer heat. This is a story of friendship and helping others. The illustrations are well done and so delicious-looking they make you want to eat the page. It's definitely a charmer for young and mature alike. Good birthday party gift for youngsters. Carolyn Rowe Hill

Fanciful Chocolate train and friends save Chocolateville.

Tiny chocolate train carries passengers through fantasyland of forests with gift box fruit trees, cupcake mountains and marshmallow marshes. The passengers wonder why he is sad. The train becomes homesick for Chocolateville. They agree to visit his home, but find it melted when they get there.Together they rebuild Chocolateville and help the chocolate people. The artwork is reminiscent of the original "Little Engine That Could" book and has the same charm plus recipes for candymaking.
