The Hole Story of the Doughnut

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vincent X. Kirsch. According to legend and the old tar himself, in 1847 Captain Gregory made history when he used a pepper canister to remove the hard-to-cook centers of indigestible cakes known as "sinkers." The playful, cartoony illustrations, a game of cutout circles themselves, match the folksy telling, and both author and artist clearly had fun with their sweet subject. An author's note contains additional quirky facts. Timeline. Bib.
