I love candy, especially the older ones from my childhood. Brings back memories of Saturday trips to the candy story when a penny would buy you a bag of candy. The pictures are great being colorful, glossy, and plentiful. The text was ok but midway through I quit reading and just looked at the pictures. I enjoyed reading it but would have no need to reread it. ( )
