My Review of the Candy Cane Fiasco by Rachel Hilz

 

“The Candy Cane Fiasco” is a cute, amusing tale of a little girl who gets a candy cane from Grandma and that starts a chain of sticky catastrophies. When the little girl eats the candy cane, it creates a sticky mess. A cat, a Chiristmas Tree, and even, Santa get stuck together. The illustrations are engaging and entertaining. At first, grandma doesnn’t have a solution to the situation. She thinks Santa can help when he comes on Christmas Eve.But he arrives and has no idea what to do. In fact, he gets stuck as well. And in the end, everyone in the family gets a special surprise, courtesy of Santa himself. I believe very young children will enjoy this silly tale.
I would have enjoyed it even more if everyone in the famly had names and each of them helped solve the problem.
