WAS IT THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING: A STORY FOR LITTLE KIDS
ABOUT DIVORCE by SANDRA LEVINS (A Review)
When it comes to children of divorce, one thing that has changed in recent years is
the number of books available for and about children of divorce. In many ways,
this is a step in the right direction, but with more availability comes more need for
discernment about good vs. bad resources. At Divorce Ministry 4 Kids, we are
committed to helping you to sort out the good from the bad. With that in mind, we
continue review these resources to give you our thoughts and opinions.
Introduction
I have been looking forward to reading this book since I first heard about it. Let’s face
it, the title and cover art are catchy. Plus, as someone who works with kids, I can
almost imagine a child, in a timid voice, asking “Was it the chocolate pudding?” So, I was curious to see how chocolate pudding relates to divorce and hopeful that I could add another book to my list of recommended reading for children experiencing their parents’ divorce. Was It the Chocolate Pudding?: A Story for Little Kids about Divorce was written by Sandra Levins and Illustrated by Bryan Langdo. It was published in 2006 by Magination Press and addresses a serious concern for many children of divorce – whether or not they did something that caused the divorce of their parents.
