Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot by Margot Theis Raven

5.0

Very cool, very true story about the Chocolate Pilot who brought gum and chocolate to kids during the Berlin Airlift. He would "wiggle" his wings so the children would know it was him. Very cute story. I read this with some kids, and they wanted us to go online to find more information. We even went to Youtube to learn more about this pilot! So not only is it a great book, but it inspired the kids to want to learn more about this time period, and this pilot, and really got their brains going! Double win!
