Paperback. Candy Floss Makes Me Smile is a bright, playful rhyming picture book about one little traveller, one very curious appetite, and a world full of treats that do not always behave as expected.From an ice cream cone in the United Kingdom to a swirly lollipop in the USA, popcorn in Ghana, doughnuts in France, toffee in India, jelly beans in Japan, a colourful slush in Canada, fireball gum in Mexico, cake in Rome, cheese curls in South Africa and cookies in Switzerland, each stop brings a new flavour, a funny mishap, and a cheerful lesson in discovery. Sticky shoes, tangled hair, chilly teeth, aching jaws and messy crumbs all become part of the adventure, because even the sweetest journeys can come with surprises.Written with gentle humour, simple rhyme and a lively read-aloud rhythm, this story is designed for young children who enjoy colourful illustrations, repetition, food-themed fun and stories that travel from place to place. It introduces little readers to different countries in an accessible way, using familiar snacks and playful situations to spark curiosity about the wider world. The short rhyming lines make the book easy for adults to read aloud and enjoyable for children to repeat, while the bright artwork keeps each page light, expressive and full of movement.Beyond the fun, the book carries a soft message about trying new things, learning what we like, and understanding that not every treat is perfect for every moment. It gently supports conversations about food, travel, choices and healthy habits without turning the story into a lesson. The final pages connect the joy of sweets with the importance of brushing and flossing, giving parents, teachers and caregivers a natural way to talk about dental care after story time.The book is especially suited to preschool and early primary readers who are beginning to enjoy rhythm, pattern and visual storytelling. Its cheerful structure makes it useful for shared reading, early vocabulary building, country recognition, classroom discussion and simple follow-up activities about favourite foods or places around the world.At its heart, Candy Floss Makes Me Smile is about joy, imagination and the comfort of finding a favourite. The young narrator tastes many snacks across the globe, but the soft pink cloud of candy floss remains the treat that makes her happiest. With charming illustrations by Ricky Audi and a warm, child-friendly voice, Maritza Vorster's picture book celebrates travel, taste, laughter and the small delights that make childhood memorable.Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story time, early years libraries, family reading shelves, dental-awareness discussions and gift buyers looking for a sweet, cheerful children's book, Candy Floss Makes Me Smile invites readers to join a delicious trip around the world and finish with one simple reminder: smiles are sweetest when they are shared, brushed and cared for. A cheerful rhyming picture book about a little traveller tasting treats around the world, discovering funny mishaps, favourite flavours, and the importance of brushing and flossing.
