This was a cute kids book. It’s broken into chapters, so it’s easy to start and stop for little ones. The chapters are pretty short, and it can absolutely be read in a single sitting for an older child.

This story is about a group of friends that are part food/part human. They are in space, and need to go on missions. The story has some points where it asks the kids questions about what they would do, which was fun. My kids enjoyed those parts a lot!

I would have liked to see a little more information on how some problems were solved. There were parts where the kids weren’t quite sure how they solved the issue, but overall, this was a good book. The illustrations are fun, and they help to tell the story.

Chris Skinner is a financial technology expert and author of Digital Bank and its sequel ValueWeb. As a doting father, he would read stories to his twin boys every night.

Inspired by the twins’ imagination, bedtime storytelling became a dive into the exciting universe of Captain Cake and the Candy Crew as they explored space. Captain Cake is the bestselling author’s first series of children’s books.
