Lois Wickstrom is a wonderful author of children’s books. This book is just one of many that I have read and they all draw you in and take you to the depths of your imagination. Not to mention the amazing illustrations that help tell the story. You cannot go wrong with The Marshmallow Rabbit or even with any book by Lois Wickstrom.
My household is always beyond excited when I bring a book home by this author. I never skip their work as I have come to love every single one of their books! The illustrations were absolutely gorgeous and incredibly eye-catching. I thought the story was of perfect length as well as a lovely blend of fun and lightheartedness. Many books by this author contain a life lesson or two, and I think this one came across lovely. Don’t take anything too seriously! This is a read that is sure to give everyone around you the giggles. I highly recommend picking this up for your home or your classroom where various activities can be woven in.
This was such a cute little story. As we follow Mr. Bonbon’s struggle with Annabelle stealing his candy. He came up with a really interesting concept for catching her and stopping her from stealing. It was so cute to watch how Annabelle out smarted him in the end, as she proved to be a very resilient girl. I think many kids would enjoy this book and highly recommend it to any parent for their child.
Lois Wickstrom did it again with another cute childrens book. The one was geared for 5 to 8 year olds. The world building was great. I love the illustrations and how it follows the story. The pictures had bright colors.
Marshmallow Rabbit is a cute and entertaining story about a mischievous little girl named Annabelle who loves candy. Whenever Mr. Bonbon has a tour of his candy factory Annabelle is there. She looks innocent because she wears little dresses and frilly little socks and looks sweet and innocent. However, on every tour she takes candy from the factory. Annabelle started out taking just a little treat but as she became bolder, she started taking bigger candy. Mr. Bonbon knows that Annabelle is stealing candy and is determined to stop her from stealing anymore candy from his factory. Annabelle seems to be able to outsmart him each time so he decides to teach her a lesson and creates a giant sticky marshmallow rabbit that he knows she will not be able to resist. Will she fall for the bait? Will she learn a lesson at all, or will she outsmart Mr. Bonbon again? This was a cute story, but I feel as though the book might have ended a little bit too soon and that the lesson in this book might be overlooked by the age group that it was intended for. Annabelle ends up getting away with stealing and does not seem to learn that her behavior is wrong. Overall, this was a good book with beautiful bright illustrations and a cute and engaging story line.

What a sweet treat (pun intended lol) it is to read another one of Lois Wickstrom’s stories. This book is great if you have young littles ones. With bright vibrant colors, a cool plot and lets not forget candy lol. It will definitely grab their attention, just like it did mine.Also omg that Annabelle is one smart cookie 😆 she is the master indeed I can’t wait to see more of the talented authors work 🥰 ps maybe don’t read before bed lol be warned kids may want candy after reading or maybe it’s just mine 🤣
I liked this, it was really easy to read and the pictures are so colourful! Mr. Bonbon is determined to find out who his third is so he sets up his plan and just has to wait for them to try again. Thus is aimed at primary school age and teaches valuable lessons they won’t soon forget. I’ve read a few by this author now and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

This is a fun little children’s book. Well written with great characters. Geared toward littles between ages five and eight. The illustrations are great and follow the story.

Mr. Bonbon is tired of the clever little girl named Annabelle stealing his candy. He hatches a plan to catch her in action but when it does what will happen to Annabelle?
This was cute. Annabelle has been able to outwit Mr. Bonbon but has she finally met her match when his plan is put into action? Great illustrations.

Marshmallow Rabbit is a cute children’s book that children ages 4-8 can enjoy. My six year old son loved this book so much we’ve read it several times already. The colorful illustrations help bring the story to life. Annabelle is a young girl who loves candy. She loves it so much she takes some every time Mr.Bonbon has a tour. Well he comes up with the perfect plan to stop her from taking his candy. A big Marshmallow Rabbit. She tried to take it but literally the Rabbit stuck to her. Annabelle is a sneaky clever little girl. Did she out smart Mr. Bonbon? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. My son and I love this author and look forward to reading more from her soon.

This is an imaginative book with wonderful illustrations that brings the story to life. There’s humor, mischief, and lots of candy. Your children will enjoy this sweet story.
Annabelle has a major sweet tooth and loves to visit Mr. Bonbon’s candy factory. Mr. Bonbon learns that Annabelle is pilfering his candy and this makes him very upset. He sets up a trap to catch Annabelle in the act during one of his tours.
This is a cute book but not one among my absolute favorites from this author. It has a Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory air to it. The illustrations are very well done. My favorite page is the one showing Mr. Bonbon laying in his “too small” bed.

Great children’s book for young children. It is very colorful, and the illustrations are very cute. The story tells about Mr. Bonbon is trying to figure out a way to stop Annabelle from stealing his candy from his candy factory. He sets a trap, and she falls for it. Very cute story.

Marshmallow Rabbit is a colorful, fun children’s picture book. It is said to be a modern version of Tar Baby, which I was surprised by, because its a pretty controversial story…My son is not familiar with that story, so to him, it wasn’t an issue. Mr. Bonbon owns a huge candy factory, and a naughty young girl named Annabelle often comes in, and steals his chocolates and candies. He keeps trying to catch her in the act, and stop her. One night he gets the idea to set a trap! Annabelle falls right into it, and finds herself in a sticky mess- literally. The illustrations are fun and colorful. My son did think Annabelle and Mr. Bonbon were both pretty creative in their schemes. While this wasn’t my favorite story by this author, it was still a fun quick read.

What do you do when you run a candy factory and a little girl helps herself to the candy? Mr. Bonbon has got to come up with an idea to stop Annabelle from taking his candy. Now Annabelle is in a sticky predicament, can she escape or will she get into more trouble. The author gives a great lesson to be learned and a fun story to read. The children will love this story and the pictures as well. The story is easy to read and fast paced. My grandchildren loved this story, just as much as I did. I am in awe of this author and her storytelling talents. We are all looking forward to her next book.

Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom is a cute read. The illustrations by Janet King are lovely and colorful. It is a cute story and a fun twist on Tar baby. Annabelle loves candy and Mr Bonbon has to figure out a way to stop her from stealing his wonderful confections. Does he figure it out? Read this cute story to find out!
Wow different take in some ways to another famous candy maker. Lois Wickstrom shows that even a master thief that loves candy can always outwit Mr. Bonbon to get her favorite candy. Annabelle loves candy and uses her frilly dresses and socks to steal little pieces until one day a trap ends in her favor. A fun read watching Mr. Bonbon try to outwit her and the old ladies along for the show of what she will do next.
Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom is an illustrated children’s story aimed at children ages 4 to 8years. This story gave me some “Tar Baby/Br’er Rabbit” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Willy Wonka” vibes, which I liked. The illustrations are cute, colourful, interesting, and engaging, and helped to bring everything to life. Annabelle has been stealing candy from Mr. Bonbon’s candy factory. Every time there is a factory tour, Annabelle is there taking whatever she sets her mind on, becoming bolder with each visit. Mr. Bonbon is determined to teach her a lesson, and so creates a giant, sticky, marshmallow rabbit that he hopes Annabelle will not be able to resist. What happens when Annabelle grabs the sticky rabbit to take home with her? Well, you can probably guess- but no spoilers from me- so you’ll just have to read the story to find out what happens here. I really wanted to ‘enjoy’ this story- and would have liked to have read it to my grandchildren- BUT, I hated the way the story ended and really feel that the ‘message’ in this book is wrong, and would be misconstrued. I feel like Annabelle got away with very bad behaviour— rewarded even— and that’s not a message I want any child to learn. Stealing is NOT ok, and shouldn’t be rewarded. Especially since this is not a ‘one-off’ occurrence, or out of necessity (due to homelessness/starving etc), or even that Annabelle learned her lesson and turned over a ‘new leaf’— nope— instead, this was just an entitled child thinking they could do whatever they liked, and get away with it, and the got rewarded on top of it all—- plus thinking she ‘got-one-over’ on Mr. Bonbon, too. Well, that’s how I say it anyway. But maybe you might view it differently… Happy Reading…

Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom is a fun and imaginative story with colorful illustrations that bring the story to life. This is one of my favorites from this author and I know my great nieces and great nephew enjoy this story as well….full of fun.
Mr. Bonbon, the local candy maker, is trying to prevent Annabelle from stealing any more candy from his factory tours…and comes up with a plan. Mr. Bonbon is trying to teach Annabelle from lesson of not to steal and take things. His plan comes to light….but does it work….or will Annabelle continue her ways…
This is a very fun read….for the young and the young at heart.
This book right here was short and sweet. It was a great laugh but also a good lesson learned. My daughter loved it. This author has yet to disappoint on a book. Great book to read to your kid at bedtime.
This book is a fantastic and fun children’s story, and is one that is entertaining from start to finish. It is a completely engaging story that really caught my kids attention right from the word go. They loved the idea of getting stuck to a giant sweet and really found it funny that this happened to the character. This author really knows how to write brilliant children’s books. They are a firm favourite in our house and with each book we just love her even more. This book has been added to the collection of ones we will read multiple times (and already have) and I am sure it will be joined by many from this author.
I really liked the artwork in this book. Poor Mr. Bonbon, trying to figure out how to get Annabelle from stealing candy. I have to say Annabelle gets what she deserves with the marshmallow bunny, although in the end she tricks Mr. Bonbon. I like that he doesn’t get angry with her in the end, just kind of resigned to the fact that he will have to figure out how to stop her in the future.
Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom. This is such a good children’s read and this author is my absolute favorite children’s author. Her books are always fun, imaginative and always teach a lesson. This is aimed at Kindergarten thru 3rd grade. It’s the story of Annabelle who loves candy especially chocolate and she has learned that if she tours the chocolate factory every time she can she can sneak chocolate. Free candy, you can’t beat that except for Mr. Bonbon is onto Annabelle and is determined to catch her and teach her a lesson. Mr. Bonbon decides to create a huge chocolate marshmallow rabbit to try to lure her into trying to take it. Will she take the bait? This is such a cute story that would make a great read for the children in your life. It would also make a great gift for families or teachers for their class!
This was a fun read with great characters. I believe this author has found her calling. Imagination in full force every time. Love how very book will draw you in to the adventure that waits. Highly recommend this author and books for a classroom or personal library. Great for all ages.

I was not expecting how this book would turn out. I guess that’s the point of the story really. Things you plan for have a way of surprising you. There were surprises in store for both of the main characters. I read this with my 7yo son who enjoyed it. The illustrations are colorful and fun. We always enjoy Lois Wickstrom books.
This is a quick read and I think your children will love it. I enjoyed it.
Mr. Bonlon gives tours at the candy factory and one little girl is always on those tours. Candy starts coming up missing and Mr. Bonlon sets out to find out who and why.
Check out the story I think your children or grandchildren will enjoy the story.
This book was so cute, and the illustrations were so colorful. It was perfect for my granddaughter; she is almost four. She loves to be read to and this has become a favorite of hers. Annabelle keeps stealing candy from Mr. Bonbon and he has to come up with a way to teach her a lesson, But Annabelle is pretty smart, you will have to read and find out.

Marshmallow Rabbit is a clever colourful and imaginative 30 paged adventure story. It is aimed at children from kindergarten through 3rd grade. Lois writes stories that are adventurous and teach valuable life lessons to children. Annabelle loves candy and this sneaky little thief tours the chocolate factory whenever she can and leaves with all the sugary goodness she can steal. But Mr Bonbon decides to put a stop to her thieving ways and find a punishment that is befitting the crime. This delightful children’s story is full of fun, with colourful and interesting illustrations by Janet King. The narrative makes for an engaging tale. There are also things to learn along the way such as the consequences of one’s actions. You don’t have to be a child to enjoy the adventure.
