Fittingly, the February issue of Odyssey magazine is all about Candy!
Be sure to check out my article "Making New Candy Concoctions". Ric McKown, an old friend and author of The Candy Bar Cookbook: Baking with America's Favorite Candy (Longstreet Press, 2000), graciously helped me with some of the candy science. (See, old friends do come in handy.)
To complement my article, Odyssey has a Candy Concoction Contest. Entries must be postmarked by March 30, 2012, so check it out.
And, four pages after my article, check out a piece by fellow INK member, Karen Romano Young. Her Humanimal Doodle is titled "Honey Doodle".
Librarians, teachers, and parents, looking for other books about Candy and Sweets for February? In May 2011, I wrote Sweet! Interesting Nonfiction for Kids with a list of book suggestions.
