Chocolate Lab, The Chocolate Lab

The author of the Bad Food series introduces Cocoa: fierce friend, energetic pup, and star of this deliciously sweet chapter book series!

Cocoa is cooking up trouble . . .

Take one family’s chocolate shop, add a dash of competition with the fancy new store on the block, stir in a candy-crazy Labrador named Cocoa . . . and you’ve got a recipe for disaster! If Mason and Hannah can win first prize at the annual Chocolate Expo, they may be able to save their parents’ shop. But Cocoa can’t control himself in the kitchen. And one more mess means they’ll have to say goodbye to their pup for good!
