About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is ready for their first chapter book but still loves zany, imaginative stories. Perfect for young readers who ask “why” about everything, this book offers wonderfully silly answers. "Pretzels" is a collection of three short, humorous adventures featuring the quirky crew of the ship "Bungle." Readers will discover a ridiculous, fictional origin story for pretzels, join the crew as they navigate a river that turns into a jungle, and land on an island made entirely of food. The stories celebrate curiosity, creative problem-solving, and the joy of collaboration. Its simple language, large print, and charming illustrations make it an ideal and confidence-boosting step up from picture books for children aged 6 to 9.
