At Sam's sixth birthday party, his sister passes a box of chocolates and youngsters can lift the chocolate flaps to discover the extra-creepy treats that Samantha has prepared for her brother and his friends.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Youngsters who prefer spice to sugar will eat up the followup to Sam's Sandwich . In that first outing, Sam slipped a few noxious treats into a sandwich for his sister Samantha; here Samantha avers that "Revenge is sweet," and backs her claim by regaling birthday-boy Sam with a box of homemade chocolates, each containing a none-too-toothsome surprise. Pelham, of course, lets the reader share in the partygoers' festivities. His book is packaged like the retaliatory candy box, with gatefolds to suggest tissue-paper overlays, and each page of text offers a rhyming clue to the next "candy" filling ("By climbing up upon the bar / Sis had reached the relish jar ./ So Leroy's candy was a funny one-- / A chocolate-coated, pickled . . . stet ellipses "). Lift-the-flap paper engineering on the facing spread supplies a visual answer (under the fancy chocolate swirls, a little onion). Naturally, each candy disappears from the spread as soon as it's been consumed, and the bottom of the box is filled with party debris--real bits of confetti, pictures of cake candles and broken balloons. Bon appetit. Ages 4-9.

Great kids book!,

This review is from: Sam's Surprise (Hardcover)
I have most of David Pelham's books and the kids really enjoy them. I think of the Sam's books as appealing especially to boys but all the kids want to look at the pop-ups. They're so cleverly done!

As with the rest of this author's books, this is a great one, too! My favorite is Sam's Sandwich, but this is a close second!
