Walking home from the bakery with a long, thin baguette, Monsieur Saguette calmly uses his bread to perform a number of rescues, such as stopping a robbery and saving a baby from an alligator. Repetition adds humor to the description of his dramatic escapades. Asch evokes the story's Parisian setting with pale colors and a fine black line.
