Mr. Belinsky's Bagels

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. Competition across the street causes Mr. Belinsky to start selling pastries, cakes, and cookies instead of his beloved bagels. Despite success, Belinsky returns to bagel-making out of loyalty to his less numerous but more cherished bagel customers. Brightly colored folk-art-like illustrations enliven this somewhat stale story, which is followed by a brief history of the bagel.
