Sam loves candy. His level-headed parents want him to eat healthy. But when this stubborn seven-year-old candy connoisseur is allowed to eat ALL the candy he wants, no one is prepared for the outrageous, magical, body-transforming, candy adventure that comes next!
I have read this to my daughter at least 10 times over the last few years -- usually around Halloween. It is cute, quirky and imaginative. The story is reminiscent of old horrific German cautionary tales which I find charming. My only complaint is the font is too whimsical making it hard to read. However, it is a fun read -- especially when your child (or inner child) is a candy monster.
