About The Book
The most underrated Halloween candies want to join the Valentine’s Day celebrations in a super sweet picture book holiday mash-up with a dash of humor, a pinch of holiday excitement, and a whole lot of love from Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning author-illustrator Jonathan Fenske.
Jack-o-lanterns had turned rotten.
Christmas presents were forgotten.
But then a fragrance filled their noses.
The smell of chocolate mixed with…roses?
When leftover Candy Corn discover Valentine’s Day, they can’t wait to join Candy Hearts, Chocolate Bon-Bons, and other lovey-dovey treats for a new adventure. But the valentine candies all agree their special day does not include these out-of-control Candy Corn.
Is Valentine’s Day only for besties? Or is valentine joy for everyone—even candy beasties that don’t seem to belong?
