“Sometimes, the best ideas are full of holes!”
“The sweet story behind everyone‘s favorite treat.“
A fascinating tale of the origin of the doughnut, blending humor and history for young readers.
My favorite part about this book were the illustrations and the taste of whimsy.
Hole story of the doughnut by Pat Miller was a wonderful read. It was In 1843, about a 14 year old boy, Hanson Gregory who left his family home in Rockport, Maine, and set sail as a cabin boy on the schooner Achorn, looking for adventure on the high seas. A boatload of hungry sailors, coupled with him helped to creative problem solve. This lead to the doughnut. It was a sweet, fact-filled story.
