Veteran character voice actor Lionel Wilson reads Robert Kimmel Smith's book (Coward, 1972; Dell, pap.). Some of the character voices are exaggerated stereotypes emphasizing the humor of the book. Embedded in this tale are lessons in courage, caring, moderation, and prejudice. These tapes are good for individual and small groups to enhance reading skills especially in the middle elementary grades.

chocolate fever
Chocolate Fever was a very good book. It was very exciting and funny. I liked it a lot.
Henry Green is a boy who eats chocolate every day. He eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He puts it on everything. One day he goes too far and gets chocolate fever. How can he get rid of it?

awsome book
Robert Kimmel Smith is an outstanding author. He wrote many books. My favorite was Jelly Belly UNTIL I read Chocolate Fever. It was by Robert Kimmel Smith also. Chocolate Fever was funny, and exciting. It kept me on my feet especially when Henry, the main character, was running from the hospital, and cops. They wanted to find out why he had brown dots all over his body.
Then he found Mac. They had dinner. Mac owned a big truck loaded with furs. Mac and Henry were robbed. The robbers had guns and took them to a house. If you want to know more you can read Chocolate Fever for yourself.
I decided to read this book because it is funny and exciting. Robert Kimmel Smith is a great author. I like how he shows and describes things so you understand I really like his books and I hope you do to.

Awesome Book!
Henry, an Elementary kid, can't get enough chocolate. Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith is a real inspiring book. The book's setting is in a place at a school. Some of the main characters are Henry Green, Mrs. Green, and the doctor. The conflict of this book is that a boy is trying to get away from the doctors because he is afraid of doctors.
This book is a MUST READ BOOK because it is hilarious. He has the chocolate poxs. This book is also interesting because he is afraid of the doctors because he doesn't want to get checked out by the doctors. This is also a mystery because he has a case of the chocolate poxs.
Besides this story Robert Kimmel Smith writes bedtime stories for little kids. Robert Kimmel Smith sold over 1 million books of Chocolate Fever. I think you should read this book.
