The Bagel King by Andrew Larsen

4.0

Oy vey! Zaida fell on his tuches. This is a wonderful story about a boy, Eli, and his grandfather and their weekly ritual. Due to his grandfather’s injury the grandson takes over the tradition and adds his own twist. The illustrations are absolutely delicious. They are colorful, descriptive, and such a great addition to the telling of the story. The picture of Eli draped over the couch does an excellent job of conveying how the young man is feeling. The drawings of all the older gentlemen in the book made this reader want to know their history. I love the facial expressions and mustaches. I highly recommend this wonderful book.
