Synopsis
Ever wonder where chocolate came from? We have the Mayan king Kukulkán to thank. Kukulkán is more than a king―he is also a god. One day he brings his people an amazing gift: a chocolate tree! But there is just one problem. Kukulkán’s brother, Night Jaguar, doesn’t want regular people to have chocolate. He thinks only gods should eat the tempting treat. Will Night Jaguar prevail? Or will the Mayans get to keep their chocolate tree?

From School Library Journal
Grade 2–5—These folktales are separated into sections, giving them the appearance of early chapter books. The large-print texts, accompanied by bright watercolor illustrations, reflect the culture from which they originated while remaining straightforward and concise, keeping emerging readers in mind. In the first book, Tsukahara Bokuden, a nobleman, bests a warrior who tries to get on a ferry before everyone else and then demands another man's seat. The afterword explains that the protagonist was a real person. The second book explains how King Kukulkán gave his people the gift of chocolate in spite of making the other gods angry. Although not as carefully illustrated as picture-book folktales, and not outstanding as read-alouds, these books are useful choices for beginning readers.—Sarah O'Holla, Village Community School, New York City
