Pretzel sniffs that Bagel doesn't cut the mustard, and Doughnut's eyes just glaze over. Will Bagel "ever" find a sweet-tart who doesn't think his steps are half-baked? Full color. Book Synopsis Poor Bagel! He dreams of entering the Cherry Jubilee dance contest . . . but no one wants to be his partner! Can he find a sweet-tart who doesn't think his steps are half-baked? Bagel loved to dance. It made him happier than a birthday cake! And more than anything, he wants a partner who will spin and swirl, tap and twirl with him in the dance contest. But Pretzel sniffs that he doesn't cut the mustard, Croissant thinks his moves are stale, and Doughnut's eyes just glaze over. Can a cute cupcake save the day for our would-be Fred Éclair? Witty and pun-filled, this picture book really takes the cake. Review Quotes "Are you a fan of baking puns? Tap-dancing bagels? Oodles of fun? Then this is the book for you! When a 'tap tap tippity tap' dancing bagel in suspenders, a polka-dotted bow tie, and a Charlie Chaplin hat and cane needs a partner for the Cherry Jubilee Dance Contest, he asks every pastry he passes. No one's impressed by his moves, however, and he receives a string of rejections, including a croissant who deems his dancing 'totally stale.' Though Bagel can't help but feel 'dumped like yesterday's rolls, ' he carries on, until his delectable tapping catches the attention of a receptive cupcake, who 'blushes red velvet' from his fancy footwork. Dardik's vibrant artwork, full of animated, anthropomorphic baked goods in bold colors and shapes, complement the comical text. Bagel is particularly expressive, from his frustration with his search for a dance partner to the pizzazz he brings to his dancing to the adoration he feels for Cupcake, who's his perfect match. Humorous, lighthearted fare with a heartening ending and chuckle-worthy jokes." --Booklist "A romance for carb (and pun!) lovers who dance to their own drummers and don't give up on their dreams." -Kirkus Reviews About The Author Natasha Wing is best known for her paperback series based on the popular poem "The Night Before Christmas."
