The Hole Story of the Doughnut

ebook

A colorful look at the true story behind one sea captain’s scrumptious legacy that has become one of our favorite snacks.

In 1843, fourteen-year-old Hanson Gregory left his family home in Rockport, Maine, and set sail as a cabin boy on the schooner Achorn, looking for high-stakes adventure on the high seas. Little did he know that a boatload of hungry sailors, coupled with his knack for creative problem-solving, would yield one of the world’s most prized and beloved pastries.

Lively and inventive cut-paper illustrations add a taste of whimsy to this sweet, fact-filled story that includes an extensive bibliography, author's note, and timeline.

“A lively offering for reading and sharing that will encourage the youngest of researchers to wonder and learn about other everyday items in their world.”—School Library Journal
