Quick Summary
What makes this book special is the absurdly funny concept of a boy literally breaking out in chocolate spots from head to toe because he ate too much candy. Kids will crack up at the wacky medical mystery of brown spots spreading across Henry's body and the chaotic stampede that follows when doctors, the school principal, and even the president get involved. If your kid loves the silly, impossible scenarios in "Diary of a Pug: Pug Blasts Off a Pug: Pug Blasts Off Wimpy Kid" or "Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets," they'll devour this sweet story in one sitting. Perfect for kids in grades 3-5 who enjoy quick, laugh-out-loud reads with a touch of gross-out humor.
