title: Sweet!: The Delicious Story of Candy
author:  Ann Love 
description: Grade 4&ndash;7&mdash;This history of things sweet and sugary is a yummy feast. The prose is chatty and inviting. Color cartoon illustrations show multiethnic people in the process of making or enjoying everything from honey to ice cream to cotton candy (called candy floss here) to jelly beans and chocolate. A time line from around 6000 B.C.E. through 2006 runs along the bottom of the pages. Throughout the time line, tooth decay and other sugar-related problems are mentioned. For example, in England in 1674, a physician connected sugar consumption to diabetes. And in 1978, in the U.S., an accused murderer used the "Twinkie defense" at his murder trial&mdash;he did it because of too much sugar. There are great explanations of such matters as the history of honey production and the chemistry of sugar. The absence of an index is a drawback for reports. Another sweet history of candy is Ruth Freeman Swain's <I>How Sweet It Is (and Was)</I> (Holiday House, 2003). <I>Sweet!</I> is one tasty treat.&mdash;<I>Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
