"In my 30 years of teaching elementary school I have had the opportunity to read a lot of children’s books. There are many good books, but once in a great while an exceptional book comes my way. The Lost Candy Bar is one of those exceptional books. Everyone who reads it, including students and teachers alike, loves this book. It is a treasure."
"As a teacher, principal, and the father of three boys, I have read countless children's books. The quality of the writing of those books often leaves much to be desired. The Lost Candy Bar is the exception. It captivates both students and teachers with vivid imagery, humor, suspense, and surprise. Steve Kihm captures perfectly the literary voice of a 9-year old. If you're looking for a wonderful book for a young reader, you've just found it."
"This story appeals to kids of all ages. It is a family story with the excitement of surviving a fishing trip but losing the treat of the day. Steve Kihm relates to the kids in his school presentations. Our students were especially interested in the candy bar and getting the real story from him in person. I highly recommend his book and a school visit to elementary school media specialists and teachers." "Steve visited our school on Read Across America Day, and shared his story. It’s a wonderful book for both children and adults. I also feel that it’s a great read for older students who are struggling readers because the layout of the book is not like that of a conventional chapter book."
"Our students really enjoyed reading The Lost Candy Bar. They especially appreciated being able to meet Mr. Kihm and discuss the book with him. The fact that this is a true story made it even more exciting for them. They were encouraged to continue working on their writing after the visit. It was a very positive experience for them!"
"The Lost Candy Bar is a refreshing story for all children to enjoy. The humor and real life experience makes this book a fun read in the classroom. Reading The Lost Candy Bar is a must for elementary classrooms."
