Overview

The other kids at the park never ask Dong-Dong to play. But he's fine just playing marbles on his own. One day he goes out in search of new marbles but ends up buying a bag of colourful, marble-shaped candies instead. But the first time he pops one of them into his mouth, he's astonished to hear his old sofa start talking to him! For the next few minutes, until the candy melts away, he has the most unexpected and amazing conversation of his life. Realising that these are no ordinary candies, Dong-Dong looks at the rest of the colourful sweets. Who else will be able to talk to, and what else will he learn, through these magic candies?
