Get Sucked Into The Great Lollipop Caper By Dan Krall (Plus A Giveaway!)

Dan Krall is genius. I mean, he created a book about lollipops! What kid doesn’t love lollipops?! And there’s something for us adults, too. Capers! Ya know, the salty little fellas that perk up lox and a nice schmear (that’s NY-talk for cream cheese). Delish (more NY-talk). I can’t decide which I like more.

Running around screaming, carnivals, theme parks, birthday parties…I mean, they go nuts for him, so who doesn’t want to get in on that? Lollipop, you’re such a sweet guy. You wanted to help Caper even though he tried to wiggle in on your likable, lickable territory. Why so generous? I’m a sweet and tangy lollipop and children love me. [smiles vacantly] Um, yeah. And to think you spend your day having your brain sucked out. Never woulda known. So let’s come back to you, Caper. I’m
