Morganelli, Adrianna. The Biography of Chocolate. Crabtree Publishing: 2006. ISBN: 9780778724816. Ages 12 and up.
This is an informational book about chocolate. It basically talks about the history of chocolate, from when the Aztecs discover it to when the British make it extremely popular, and up until the present day. There are pictures on every page which help people get a feel for what the text is about. The pictures are informative and are very crucial to the understanding of the book as a whole. This book has a very technical textbook style of writing; it flows in a historical sense but not a storyline sense. I believe this book was made to inform, not entertain, and it informs well, though would not appeal to a younger audience.
