Sam Sugarpop and the Switch Witch Surprise
Sam Sugarpop is a frisky little fire sprite who loves, loves, loves sweets “for breakfast, for dinner, for supper, and tea” as the nursery rhyme goes. When the children of the world hear his rhyme and also get a taste for sweets, a Halloween tradition is born: trick-or-treating for candy!
