Yummy: My third grade teacher read us this book during the fall holidays. At the age of 23, I still remember the title and how it made me like candy corn. I think it's a great story. I'm going to buy this book for my nephew.
Two illustrators: Publisher and Amazon, ect., should list the cover artist as well, if it is different from interiors. Many reasons for this... Public can find the specific book they are looking for, and equal time is given to each artist. (instead of leaving the cover artist out altogether-which, unfortunately has been done since paperbacks were invented. I know, because I am a children's book cover artist. We get neither money or fame, but our work helps sell the book....It is criminal if someone else gets all the credit.
Memories: I read this book when I was in the third grade and I loved it!!! I probably read the book 20 times during my childhood. I am now 24, and still remember the yummy candy corn contest described in this book. :)
Kids enjoy the story!: I've read this book with my third graders for the past several years. They love it. They enjoy having a candy corn contest of their own while reading the book.
A Thanksgiving Story: This book was enjoyable but kind of gross. Too graphic about Matthew's smell. You'd think his folks would know how bad he smelled and do somehting. I would have called CPS and reported it as child neglect. If a kid is that young and smells bad then that is poor personal hygeine and that is the parent's fault.
