Customer Reviews

The Bagel Baker is the best!

When I was a child, my parents read this book to my sister and I often. Now, that I am a teacher I continue to find this book rewarding for myself and my students. The story captures a magical feeling of family, culture, tradition, holidays, and bagels! I wish someday to buy this book for my own children. IT's a shame that a book that use to be ... is now out of print and costing ...! This book is fabulous and creative and everyone should read it to their children.

Magic-agel Bagels Should Still Be In Print

The setting is Mulliner Lane, "in a place New Yorkers still call the Bronx," at Grandpa Izzy's bagel bakery. Grandpa Izzy has to sleep with one eye open and one eye shut to keep an eye on his dancing duck-agel bagels and pirouetting pig-agel bagels. Grandma Sonny worries about Izzy's strange behavior, but he reassures her, "It's magic, Sonny." The only bigger mystery than Grandpa Izzy's crazy bagels is how this book ever went out of print...it was my favorite picture book when I was a kid, and went over just as well when I read it to my first-grade Sunday morning Hebrew school class twenty years later. It's well worth the search for a copy -- I promise, your kids will love it.
