Meet the Pops Belinda Barbieri

The Pops family harvests yummy lollipops, fresh candy corn, and a variety of other sweet treats on their unique farm. Herds of strawberry and chocolate milk cows and cotton-candy sheep roam the countryside. Peppermint-striped bass and ginger snapping turtles bask in the sugar-sweet stream that flows through the property, the secret ingredient behind the Pops' farm.



This week, they are preparing to host a special guest, Santa Claus. Each year he visits their farm in Yummyville to fill his sleigh full of treats just before he makes his long Christmas journey. Everyone has a job to do. But the cotton-candy sheep's naughty side comes out, and they keep getting into trouble just before Santa's arrival.



Through the adventures of the Pops family, this third book in the series teaches children about values and good behavior such as being responsible, truthfulness and sharing, in an entertaining way.
