About This Book:
The most underrated Halloween candies are determined to celebrate Christmas in this wildly sweet holiday mash-up with a dash of humor, a pinch of holiday cheer, and a sugar rush of Christmas magic.
The candy corn exclaimed with glee,
“What is this magic land we see?”
“It’s Christmas,” squeaked a sugarplum.
“Well, watch out, Christmas. Here we come!”
Candy corn is used to being left on the shelf long after Halloween ends, but this year, they’ve had enough of being limited to one holiday. It’s time to join the ranks of Christmas sweet treats for a new festive adventure. But there’s one problem… All the Christmas candies agree candy corn is not a Christmas treat! Can holiday joy really be shared with everyone—even candy that doesn’t seem to belong?
*Review Contributed by Karen Yingling, Staff Reviewer*
Fenske has illustrated many books, including Perl’s Carrot and Cookie books and his own I Will Race You Through This Book, so the illustrations are rich with details that will make young readers giggle. From the Muffin Man mix on the pantry shelves to the candy corn cannon balling into a cup of eggnog, there are all sorts of amusing gags and references. The candy corn all have expressions on their face, and it’s necessary to look at all of them to see what other stories are unfolding.
Clearly, there should be more Christmas books about sentient candy. Lacking those, you can read this along with Scarry’s classic The Sweet Scent of Christmas or edgier, humorous holiday themed books like Sharff’s When Santa Came to Stay or Ardagh’s Bunnies in a Sleigh.
