    Would you be kind enough to provide a direct link? Thank you!
    I want to do a review, and would like to read how to make these things. I’d like to comment on that!

    1. HI Resa, oh that is so odd. I don’t know how I came to send three of the same book. I think it may have been something to do with the uploading.

They are all listed here: https://robbiesinspiration.wordpress.com/sir-chocolate-book-series/

  9. Although it does not affect me directly, your article has given me food for thought, and those are matters that parents should consider when choosing books for their children. Thanks, Robbie.
