LOVED this story!
Many years ago I heard a story (or perhaps it was a story on a TV episode) of a wise employer. He hired teenagers to work for him in his old country store or drug store (can't remember which now), and he would let them eat all the candy they wanted: it was a perk of the job.
Now I want you to picture a store like the one in Little House on the Prairie or something Opie Taylor would have visited. Something of that era where you had the candy jars where you reached in and grabbed a handful or scoop full - NOT the stores of today where everything is in packages.
Also picture the kid with a penny or nickel in his pocket for candy who was excited because that was a special treat.
So now here comes this teenager to work for the store owner - probably his first boss, and he is literally the "kid in the candy store"! All the candy he wants for free! WOW! Who's gonna turn THAT down? He may be a kid, but he's not stupid!
So between taking care of his duties as an employee the teenager tries as many of the different candies as he can. But then he starts to feel funny so he thinks he'd better stick with his favorite candies. Even then, by the end of the day the kid is so sick to his stomach he cannot stand to even LOOK at the candy - much less think of eating any more of it!
Sure, the store owner lost some revenue for the candy the boy ate that day. But it was not nearly as much as he would probably have eaten over the course of his employment. So in the long run the store owner saved money, and he didn't have to worry about his employee "snitching" candy.
This book reminds me of that story. The bear is the boy. All he wants to eat is chocolate. His mother cannot convince him to try fruits, veggies, yogurt, meats, etc. (And I could comment on that, but it would not have anything to do with the book so we will move forward....)
One day circumstances were such that he ate so much chocolate he could not get up from the ground! He was too round, and his tummy hurt too much! But he finally had eaten so much chocolate he never wanted any more!
That was when he discovered the other foods his mother wanted him to try were also delicious! This is something ALL our little "bears" need to learn!
As for the reviewer who thought this was unrealistic: My daughter talks about eating too many blueberries as a child, and to this day she doesn't want ANYTHING with blueberries in it! She is 35 years old. So it IS a real situation. Just like the "kid in the candy store" or my daughter with the blueberries (or me and cooked cherries - although Nana DID make great cherry pie when I was little, OR my husband with a couple of foods he wouldn't eat for 25 or 30 years), the bear in this story learned there truly is "too much of a good thing".
