The Bagel Who Wanted Everything:

The Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast series meets The Food Group books in this tale of a plain bagel who dreams of being more!

Hey. I’m a bagel who is just one thing: PLAIN. The other bagels? They’re all just one thing, too. Garlic. Salt. Onion—you get the idea.

BORING!

Being plain makes me feel like I have this big hole, right here in my gut. Because in a world full of so many things, I want to be . . .

EVERYTHING!

Now I just have to figure out what that is . . .
