The book as I remember it: Soft cover bedtime stories…blue maybe? Looked kinda like a coloring book, but was bedtime stories.
The story: Took place in a candy store, at night all the candy came alive. The only thing I really remember is the marshmallows starting to melt. It would have been in the 1960’s probably. it was my favorite story as a kid and would love to read it to my grandson. Hope you can find it…I have had no luck. Thanks.

Rats – I think I may have also owned this book when I was a child but I can’t remember the title either. One of the stories had a princess who liked baking cherry pies. One was a man who wished for wealth from a leprechaun (?) who gave him a wooden chest that refreshed itself with gold coins every day, until finally he wishes to go back to his poorer original life. I remember the story of the candy shop too. It is indeed a light blue cover. I wish I could be more helpful, but you’re not alone in remembering the book!
Found it! “A Treasury of Bedtime Stories” compiled by Judith Klugmann, Hart Publishing Company, New York, 1960.
