13) A Fun Halloween Story… ★★★★★

By Nancy Allen (The Avid Reader) on 6 January 2024 (Amazon US Review and Goodreads Review)

Jimmy and the Halloween Candy Monster by Donald Firesmith was a fun little read. It is Halloween and the candy monster comes every Halloween and steals Jimmy’s candy. He hides it but the candy monster always finds it.

Jimmy has a plan this year. He asks his mom and dad to help him hide his candy from the candy monster. But when he gets up the next morning before his parents he searches their room for his candy. The candy monster visited his parent’s room in the middle of the night and took his candy.

Jimmy and the Halloween Candy Monster is a fun, sweet little story about how children always eat to much candy on Halloween and how Jimmy’s parents come up with a solution to keep Jimmy from eating too much candy at one time.

Jimmy and the Halloween Candy Monster is a great story for parents to read to their children on Halloween or any time of the year.

This is a fantastic story about a boy who collects a bag full of candy every Halloween. But every year he awakens the next morning only to discover the candy monster has stolen almost all of his candy! He decides to get help from his parents (bless his innocent little heart). Again, next morning there is almost no candy left in his bag. What can the family do?

You will have to read the story. I only wish I had been so smart when my kids were young! Mom and Dad, you’re going to really enjoy this one! Get a copy, read it, and be prepared for next Halloween. I hear there just might be a candy monster running around your neighborhood next year. Your kids might need your help so you’d best be ready. I’m just sayin’….
