Reach for this book when your child is struggling with moderation or experiencing the 'gimme-gimmes' regarding sweets and treats. It is a perfect choice for navigating the boundary between indulgence and overindulgence through a lighthearted lens. The story follows a group of travelers who wash up on a literal chocolate island, where everything from the trees to the ground is made of candy. While it starts as a dream come true, the characters soon realize that living in a world made entirely of chocolate presents some very sticky, messy, and tummy-aching challenges. It is an ideal bridge between picture books and longer stories, using humor to teach that balance is what makes special things feel truly special. Parents will appreciate how it gently mirrors the consequences of too much sugar without being preachy or clinical.
