“A recent favorite is Captain Cake: Meet the Candy Crew! It’s the first book in a fun series for kids to educate them about the world and life lessons. Book 2 is Commander Pickle’s in a Pickle and let’s just say when I told my 6-year-old that was the name of the book, she laughed and said we need it ASAP!”

“A super sweet chapter book for young readers that explores team work, bravery, and friendship.”

“This was such a sweet book and I loved the many themes that were carried throughout the different chapters. The stories provide a wonderful foundation to discuss important topics with young children like bravery, teamwork, and acceptance. The short chapters lend themselves well to a nighttime read aloud for younger children. An older child could read it in one sitting and I think they would enjoy it as a graphic novel. It would also be a great addition to a classroom library. Captain Cake would appeal to young readers that love space, sci-fi, and superheroes!”

“My son is obsessed with anything superhero.”

“Captain Cake: Meet the Candy Crew is a blast! My daughter loves the candy crew and flipping through the pages of their adventure. It’s broken up into chapters which made it easy while reading to my 3-year-old. So cute!”

“This was a cute kids book. It’s broken into chapters, so it’s easy to start and stop for little ones…The story has some points where it asks the kids questions about what they would do, which was fun. My kids enjoyed those parts a lot!”

“It is perfect for preschoolers and young elementary kiddos.”

“In this children’s book filled with colorful illustrations and simple, adventurous writing, Captain Cake teaches all about teamwork.”

“A bright, catchy and colorful book that has definitely caught my kiddo’s attention. My daughter has even been carrying it around and reading it herself the past few days.”

“A good option to try for reluctant readers if you’re looking for something to spark their interest and for any child who enjoys stories with adventure, problem-solving, and teamwork.”

“I’m always looking for children’s books that have great social-emotional themes. They are so great to use in therapy for so many reasons.”

“Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary age kids! It’s a fun and easy read that explores themes such as friendship, teamwork and bravery.”

“An adorable book about teamwork, finding your strength, and working together.”

“I think both the artwork and storyline in Candy Crew could be used to start important conversations about recognizing and appreciating differences. I enjoyed reading Candy Crew with my toddler and while she is more focused on the pictures right now, as well as perhaps getting a kick out of me trying to explain that a character blasts chocolate from his hands, this is the kind of book that will stay in our library for us to revisit as she gets older.”

“Young children will love the colorful illustrations and candy theming in this book! I also love that it focuses on friendship and the importance of teamwork! This book is a great addition to my daughter’s library.”

“Throughout the book it asks comprehension and engagement questions to keep readers paying attention, which makes this a perfect classroom read. I love when a book can be used at home and/or in a classroom, especially now when a lot of families are choosing to homeschool or go with a hybrid option, finding good books to cover topics like emotional and self-regulation is key.”

“This is a great illustrated book for the kiddos and also amazing if you’re still teaching yours to read. We loved the colors and the story kept him engaged.”

“This will be such a great story to read with your children and with the themes of friendship and teamwork it will make for great discussions.”

“Here is a fun book for early readers. My 8-year-old really enjoyed Captain Cake: Meet The Candy Crew…Fun pictures and makes us crave candy!”

“He absolutely adored the bright pictures and each mini chapter grabbed his attention! This is a great easy chapter book for early readers as well.”

“I am always looking for new books to add to my boys’ library and I love that this was written by a father of twin boys. This is book one of a five-part series so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the next book. … I don’t know about you, but my boys love superhero stories and space so this is right up their alley!”

“This vibrantly colored book will keep young kids engaged And when candy is involved, what kid won’t be interested?”

“This was such a sweet book…with fun characters and such vibrant illustrations! My 2-year-old went crazy over these superheroes because she thought they were so cool!”
