At last! It's time for the annual Texas State Fair, and young Jake knows exactly what he wants to do first. He passes up all the other booths to buy his favorite treat-a cone of sweet and puffy cotton candy. Little does Jake know that his choice of sugary snack-and an unfortunate mechanical failure-will wreak havoc on the nation's biggest state fair. As Jake wanders through the exhibits and attractions, he trails a sticky tail of cotton candy in his wake. Soon the candy has swaddled the livestock, tripped up the fair queen, and even festooned Big Tex with a pink tutu! It truly is a cotton candy catastrophe-until Jake has a brilliant idea to save the day. Young readers will enjoy Jake's comic misadventure, set among landmarks like the Cotton Bowl and the Texas Star, America's tallest Ferris wheel.
