Product Description

The story of sweet success behind the Hershey's Kiss! The invention of America's quintessential milk chocolate bar is brought to vivid, delicious life in this STEAM picture book biography perfect for fans of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel and Snowflake Bentley.
Hershey's milk chocolate is the quintessential American chocolate bar. But in Milton Hershey's time, chocolate was mostly a special treat for the very wealthy. Milton grew up poor and was no stranger to going hungry. When he got a job washing dishes in an ice cream parlor, he realized how happy sweets made people--and how much he liked making people happy.
Over the course of his career, Hershey failed to make many businesses profitable, yet ultimately cracked the formula on milk chocolate. Here was a chocolate that was delicious, didn't spoil, and could be sold at an affordable price in communities across America and the world. And here was a business that could provide good lives in a welcoming town and an education for those who couldn't afford it.
Perfect for the chocolate lover, inventor, and science-experiment-obsessed childhood reader, this biography shows that perseverance and persistence can lead to sweet success.

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 4In the U.S., milk chocolate and Hershey are nearly synonymous, but how many children know the whole story? Cohen gives readers a detailed picture of Hershey and his legacy. The book starts with his impoverished childhood and moves through his training as a candy maker as well as some of his failed businesses before he finally found success making caramels and then chocolate. There are some interesting text boxes of information about some of his experiments, e.g., on the fat content of the milk from different breeds of cows. Cohen also covers Hershey's philanthropic efforts for orphaned boys and his support of education and training for young people. The artwork is warm and realistic, adding depth and humanity to the text. The back matter includes photos of Hershey, a time line, bibliography, and resources to find out more about him, and about chocolate-making. Readers will admire Hershey for his persistence and perseverance as well as his philanthropy. However, there are already a number of modern biographies on him for this age group, and this one doesn't add any new information or insights to a fairly well-documented life. VERDICT In a crowded field of picture book biographies, this one doesn't really cover any new ground.Debbie Tanner
