Hot Chocolate Children’s Story Books

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice warm cup of hot chocolate on a cold Winter’s day? Now you can snuggle up with some of these hot chocolate books and enjoy an adventure in the warmth of your home.

My middle son asks for hot chocolate all the time and I think he would really enjoy these children’s story books.

Hats, Gloves, Hot Cocoa With Love – “The original idea for “Hats, Gloves, Hot Cocoa with Love” was to create a book for both young children and adults that would stimulate the senses,” said the author. “My hope is that this book captures all of the experiences of a Winter in New England. I’ve even included a family recipe for hot cocoa that is a perfect complement when reading this book to young children around the fire.” Alternately titled “| Gorros, Guantes, Chocolate Caliente Con Amor,” Gretchen’s book is very unique because of the Spanish translation that follows along with the English text.

 

Grandma’s Chocolate / El Chocolate De Abuelita – Abuela’s visits from Mexico are always full of excitement for young Sabrina. She can’t wait to see what’s in her grandmother’s yellow suitcase covered in stickers from all the places she has visited. Opening it is like opening a treasure chest, and this year is no different. Inside are a host of riches: colorful ribbons, a clay whistle shaped like a bird, a drum, and the strong smell of chocolate.
“Abuelita, do you want to play a game? Let’s pretend that I’m a princess,” Sabrina says. “Okay, Sabrina,” Abuela says, “but a Mayan princess should wear a beautiful dress called a huipil.” And she pulls the traditional garment worn by Mayan and Aztec women from her suitcase. Sabrina has lots of questions about her ancestors. Did Mayan princesses have money? Did they go to school? Did they eat chocolate ice cream? With her grandmother’s help, Sabrina learns all about the cacao tree, which was first cultivated by Mexico’s indigenous tribes. Today, seeds from the cacao tree give us chocolate, but years ago the seeds were so valuable they were used as money. And Moctezuma, the Aztec emperor, liked to eat chocolate poured over bowls of snow brought from the mountains!
