Description
This fresh and funny story is about imagination coming to the rescue. Monsieur Saguette, on the way home from buying a baguette to eat with his soup, uses his imagination to help himself --- and others --- in times of need by transforming his ordinary baguette into something extraordinary!
A cat up a tree? No problem once our humble hero wields his trusty, crusty baguette. An alligator on the loose from the zoo? A robbery? A stalled parade? No challenge is too great or too small for Monsieur Saguette and his amazing baguette.
But what will happen when this unflappable Frenchman finds himself in danger?

Editorial Reviews
[T]his is quite the giggle-inducer.
Kirkus Reviews
This wacky tale with its kid-pleasing humor is sure to elicit giggles ... [a] lighthearted romp through the streets of Paris. Bon appétit!
School Library Journal
[A]lmost every page has something laugh-out-loud funny: another improbably situation ... a goofy punch line ... a visual tickle. [Y]oungsters ... should proclaim, “C'est mangifique!
Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review
Asch's lively, loose-lined illustrations are full of humorous bravado. Kids will adore the endearing escapades, and adults may think twice before cutting down on carbohydrates.
