The Chocolate Voyage (Dr. Seuss/Cat in the Hat)

Author Tish Rabe
Illustrated by Dave Aikins
When the Cat in the Hat eats Nick's last piece of chocolate, the gang visits the Forest of Coco-a-licious to learn to make their own. There they discover that chocolate is made from cocoa beans which grow on trees--and that the raw beans actually taste pretty awful!  Undeterred, the gang help harvest, dry, and roast the beans,  separate the cocoa butter and liquids, and cook the mixture with sugar to make the sweet confection we all know and love. A perfectly tasty read for any time of the year, The Chocolate Voyage is ideal for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween—any time chocolate is on the menu! Fans of the PBS Kids television show The Cat in the Hat Know a Lot About That! will gobble this one up!
