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, 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. The Duke is disgusted and threatens to
banish the baker unless he can make a tasty roll through which the
rising sun can shine three times. Will Walter succeed in his
task?
Filled with Eric Carle’s good humor and
vibrantly colored paper collages that are known and loved the world
over, Walter the Baker is now available as a sturdy board book
edition and is a treat kids will savor.
