Caper isn't happy just having the love of adults, he wants children to love him too. His
big competition? Lollipop –who is adored by children everywhere. Caper comes up
with a plan to make caper flavored lollipop’s in order to trick children into
liking him. But when things back fire, and Lollipop must come to his rescue.
I usually dig a
good odd story, but I am a bit unsure on this one. I like the idea, the
message, and the artwork. But I think children will have trouble following the
main idea since they probably haven’t heard of Capers the food. While the moral is relate able –just wanting
everyone to like you –I think there are some better book choices to present that
subject.
