A young child shows her love for her father, who is too busy to notice her gestures. A sweet rhyming tale to remind us to take time for what's really important. I like the illustrations because they remind me of the old Roald Dahl books.

A Chocolate In My Pocket is a wonderful children's book. It perfectly reminds us, as often busy parents, that we need to slow down and appreciate the moments we have with our children. This story particularly focuses on a daughter/father bond, but it could easily be replaced with any other family member honestly.

In this story, the daughter leaves a piece of chocolate in her father’s pocket as a sign of love and affection. She is super excited to see when he notices it during his day. Her father never does, because he was too busy with his daily activities...getting ready for work, showering, and running out the door. At work he has a particularly hectic day, the chocolate in his pocket might have just made the day better, but he never finds it until it's a melted mess. I particularly loved the daughter’s response to the melted chocolate, tomorrow I'll leave you two! In the true spirit of a child, no fault, no blame, just pure love and acceptance. We all could use a little Chocolate in our Pocket surprise every now and then!

This book is eloquently written in rhyme, and illustrated simply but beautifully. I would recommend this book to any family, and we have already purchased it as book for our family to read again and again!

Thank you to NetGalley, Eric LaBranche, and Clavis Books for allowing me to review this book in exchange for an honest review. We loved it! (5 stars!)

Sweet little picture book about a girl who leaves a chocolate in her father's pocket for him to find some time during the day, so he could have a nice surprise! <3

This book features some really gorgeous water-color like illustrations!

A cute loving story about a father and daughter brought closer together by chocolate. Also a lesson to parents to not take their kids for granted, certainly don’t put work above them.
I’m a fan of rhymes, and these are intriguing, especially the pattern.
This sweet girl is far too good to be believed. . .
4.5 pushed up to 5/5

Tender, touching, sweet story in rhyme about a little girl who leaves a surprise gift for her father --a chocolate in his pocket, which he eventually finds. By the time he does , it's melted but there's a happy, perfect ending, which we won't give away. Exquisitely illustrated, this is sure to become a favorite. The rhymes work, for the most part. Five stars.

My kids loved this story so much, they tried to stick chocolates in my husband's work pockets. They thought it was sweet, and it is a good story for showing the love between parent and child.

I thought this was the cutest story. I only wish it were a little longer. A girl does something very nice for her dad that goes unnoticed. I really liked the ending of the story. Clever. The illustrations were very nice, and went well with the story. This story is intended for ages four and up as stated in the book. As I enjoyed it, I think adults will enjoy it as much as the children who will.
