<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Tired of having only adults like his acidic taste, Mr. Caper makes caper-flavored lollipops that are sent throughout the world. But his plot has unexpected consequences and only Lollipop can save the day. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>One cranky caper is about to learn that being salty might be just as good as being sweet.</b> <p/>Having adults love his acidic taste is not enough for Mr. Caper. He wants more. He wants the children of the world to love him--just as much as they love the sweet, saccharine Lollipop. <p/>And thus a plot is hatched: Caper-flavored lollipops are dispatched throughout the world...and everything goes horribly wrong. Will Mr. Caper find a way to repair the havoc he's wreaked by over-reaching? Maybe, if Lollipop helps save the day! <p/>This quirky tale, illustrated with humor and heart, contains sweet and salty delights for both adults and children.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>*</b> The pages fly by, fueled by precocious, melodramatic dialogue ("There must be a way to make the children appreciate my complex flavor!") and cheerily frenetic drawings. It's the perfect after-dinner read for Food Network-loving families.-- "Publisher's Weekly in a STARRED review"<br><br>Krall's shiny digital illustrations are cartoony and bold, with...dramatic composition.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>The whole package is wonderfully manic, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a kid who won't cackle right along with it.-- "Booklist"<br><br>There are twists and turns in Krall's jaunty tale.... [Children will] appreciate the animated stick-figured lolly and hiss appropriately at the villain.-- "New York Times"<br><br>This hilarious and highly original tale is enhanced by laugh-out-loud Photoshop cartoon illustrations and clever, punchy dialogue. Guaranteed to please a variety of tastes and an undeniably sweet treat for the picture-book shelves.-- "School Library Journal"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dan Krall is an author, illustrator, and an animator.
