I Like Chocolate

I Like Chocolate

Can you remember the allure of chocolate when you were a child?

Davide Cali and Evelyn Daviddi's delicious and funny picture book exactly captures why children love it so much.

It savours its different shapes and sizes; its colours and flavours; all the different ways it can be eaten (including The Well-Mannered Nibble); and the occasions chocolate is perfect for (including saying sorry to Mum for breaking her best vase).

A warm and entertaining celebration of our most guilty pleasure, I Like Chocolate also contains important messages about friendship, sharing, and eating in moderation.

Author of Piano Piano, The Enemy, I Love Kissing You and A Dad Who Measures Up, Davide Cali is one of Europe's most innovative and acclaimed writers of illustrated books for both children and adults. He is the author of 20 illustrated books, including I Can't Wait (illustrated by Serge Bloch), which won France's prestigious Baobab Prize for the most innovative book of 2005 and was Honour Book in the American Library Association's Batchelder Award.

His books have now been translated and published in 18 countries. Swiss-born Davide lives in Genoa, Italy, but writes in French and Italian. I Like Chocolate is the sixth of Cali's works to be translated and published in Australia and New Zealand by Wilkins Farago.

The illustrator of I Like Chocolate, Evelyn Daviddi was born in Carpi, Italy in 1973. She trained at the European Institute of Design in Milan.
