ILA/CBC Children's Choices • Reading Rainbow Book
Pretzels give pastries some competition in this delicious board book edition of a classic favorite from the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Walter the Baker is famous for his breads, rolls, cookies, tarts, and pies. The Duke and Duchess especially love his warm sweet rolls, delivered fresh to their castle every morning. But one day the cat spills the milk, and Walter is forced to serve the Duke and Duchess rolls made with water. After one bite the Duke throws down his roll in disgust and summons Walter to the castle. He threatens to banish the baker unless he can take the same dough and make a good-tasting roll that the rising sun can shine through three times. Will Walter succeed in his task, or will he have to leave his town forever?
With good humor known and loved the world over, Eric Carle has concocted a delicious book that kids will savor as much as they love eating … shhh … pretzels!
