Text Set Book #4This is a book about a boy, Yum Yum in Korea, who would like to eat a bagel but does not have access to any of the raw materials needed to make a bagel, and no matter who he asks, he cannot find the recipe for a New York style bagel. Finally, he works with the community to create his own version of a bagel. This book can teach young students about perspective, and viewing the world from another country. While bagels are easily accessible here in NYC, they may not exist in other p...
Lovely children's book with the exotic illustration that come from seeing pictures of another culture. Cute story. There was a plot twist I did not see coming.
The genre for this book is realistic fiction. I would use this lesson in relation to story mapping. It has an in-depth process for sending a letter and finding out more information about how to make a bagel.
I do not understand this book and why a begal from New York has anything to do with a child in Korea. The message is that anything can happen but very unrealistic.
Not as well written as her other books.
This book is enjoyable for people of all ages! The artwork is impeccable, the plot is entertaining, and there's a fun clash of cultures. It takes the whole town for a Korean boy to create his dream New York bagel. By the end of the story, everyone contributes to complete the boy's dream of a perfect bagel.
Yum Yung wants a bagel. After writing a letter to New York, Yum Yung receives a letter back with a recipe for a New York style bagel. The entire village works together to bake a village-sized bagel. Yum!

A child in Asia has a dream of a bagel and meets up with several folks who have no idea what he's talking about. He writes a letter to NY for some, but the letter he gets back says they won't travel well, but here's a recipe. Those previous people all get together to make it happen. I love it!Only wish would be for a bagel recipe at the end.
it is a good book but i cant read it?
Yum Yung wants a bagel. A New York bagel, to be precise. How he got this idea, living in Korea (where there are no bagels that he knows of) is a bit of a mystery, but there it is.So he decides to order in, but in the meantime it takes forever so he asks around. No surprise here, the people he asks are the same ones who has what he needs to MAKE a bagel at the end of the book.Simple story, fun ending - it could only have been made better with the inclusion of a recipe.
It is set in Korea but the kid wants a New York bagel, kinda through me for a loop but it teaches one to be patient
Drab illustrations for a decent story line.
My sister-in-law has met the author and read her books. I took her recommendation and loved this and "The Good Day Cafe."
