Celebrating PEZ

Book excerpt: "Want one?” That’s the anthem of the Pez world. No one can hold onto that little giraffe, Winnie the Pooh, or cowboy candy dispenser without tipping back the head and pushing the candy forward. So children of all ages who have ever popped a Pez will joyfully pore over this fascinating gem. It contains pictures of many of the imaginative, collectible, and valuable dispensers created over the past 50 years. More than 250 full-color photographs showcase the big cast of characters: They’re glowing with color and include animals, ghosts, witches, superheroes, clowns, and brides and grooms, as well as famous icons, such as Mickey Mouse and Tweety Bird. An introduction tells the fun, sweet story of the company, its candies, and its designs.
