Welcome to Litsy!

“There are so many things to see! But most of all I want to see John Wharton and William Morrison and their electric candy machine.“

With this book being on the history of cotton candy, this would be a great way to introduce a STEM discussion. In a classroom I would use this book to introduce activities of inventions and students to possibly create their own new thing.

This cute read aloud is the history of cotton candy! I love how in this story takes readers on a trip to the fair to see the brand new invention of cotton candy along with companion inventions like electricity. This is very informative and will definitely keep children engaged.

What a lovely book about the first time the electric cotton candy machine was displayed at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Beautiful illustrations! I read it to my husband last night! This is turning into a tradition. 😁 #kidlit #picturebook

This was a fun little book about the 1904 World's Fair and the candy floss machine debuted there to create the precursor to the cotton candy we know today. The artwork is very vibrant, perfect candy colors for a book about a sweet treat!
