Like any storybook character made from food, the marshmallow man is a sweet guy, but is popular for the wrong reasons. Gulp! Children will love the familiar, repetitive rhyme used by the marshmallow man as he tries to escape from hungry forest friends. Will he ever reach safety?
This book gives a creative twist to the gingerbread man story. I laughed out loud at the clever ending. Beautifully colored, playful illustrations of woodland animals are the icing on the cake.
Anyone who has roasted marshmallows around a campfire will warm up to this story. In fact, reading the book around a campfire would be fun! I highly recommend the book to preschool teachers as a story children would enjoy acting out. J
The Marshmallow Man is available from 4RV Publishing, Amazon and Barnes & Noble online.
