Marshmallow Clouds

by Leslie Parrott

"If the entire world was made of candy ...... You'd see peanut butter puddles after a fresh summer rain or licorice sunshine to make it dry again. Candy corn lampposts would light up the night as you dream of chocolate and other scrumptious delights. What a joy the world would be if God had made everything tasty and sweet.You and your child will giggle with amusement at this rhyming, imaginative story. Filled with "yummy" art that kids will love, Marshmallow Clouds teaches that God's ways are always best, even when we don't think so.Through imaginative and innovative products, Zonderkidz is feeding young souls."

I don't normally review children's books but I enjoyed this book so much that I want to share.

The story tells of a little girl who asks why broccoli has to taste so yucki. A sentiment I share.

Instead, the little girl would add surgar to enhance the taste. She would also enjoy peanut butter puddles and marshmellow clouds.

There are many wonderful illustrations but the point of the story that parents will enjoy is thar the little girl ends up thinking that her marshmellow world is silly and she really wouldn't change anything.

As a grandfather, I enjoyed reading this story to my granddaughter who is soon to be age four. A helpful hint to grandfathers is the notation at the back cover telling everyone that the book is for ages 4-8.

What could be nicer that providing something that enabled a grandfather to spend more quality time reading to his grandchild?
