Walter the Baker has a pretzel twist of a problem in this
Ready-to-Read edition of a favorite from the creator 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 and the vibrantly colored paper collages that are known
and loved the world over, Eric Carle has concocted a delicious book that
kids will savor, now available in a Level 2 Ready-to-Read edition that's
ideal for newly independent readers.
