Reader reviews for The Cotton Candy Catastrophe at the Texas State Fair

From the publisher

"A delightful tale" of sugary, sticky mayhem at America's biggest state fair! (Abilene Reporter-News)

At last! It's time for the annual Texas State Fair, and Jake knows exactly what he wants to do first. He passes up all the other booths to buy his favorite treat--a cone of sweet, fluffy, puffy cotton candy.

Little does Jake know that his choice of sugary snack--and an unfortunate mechanical failure--will wreak havoc on the nation's biggest state fair. As Jake wanders through the exhibits and attractions, he trails a sticky tail of cotton candy in his wake. Soon the candy has swaddled the livestock, tripped up the fair queen, and even festooned Big Tex with a pink tutu! It truly is a cotton candy catastrophe--until Jake has a brilliant idea to save the day.

Young readers will crack up at Jake's comic misadventure, set among landmarks like the Cotton Bowl and the Texas Star, America's tallest Ferris wheel.
