Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain

Educators endorse Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain. Wow what a wonderful book! As a child psychologist I wholeheartedly endorse Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain as a great read that addresses a multitude of child-rearing issues ranging from listening and knowing the child to being responsive to the needs of his/her character. The fact that Isaiah is a child of color gives the book an added dimension since racially ethnic children's books are in short supply. Most who work with young children agree anytime we can produce positive reflections of children it takes them a step higher in self-esteem. Aside from the serious and psychological aspects of the book there is pure delight and whimsy in this tale that I am sure every little boy would enjoy. I wholeheartedly recommend Isaiah and the Chocolate Mountain be added to the collection of great reading materials in children's libraries and preschools nation-wide. --Fran Williams Ed. D.
