"Bagel in Love" by Natasha Wing and Helen Dardik (Sterling Publishing)

Even baked goods like to get their groove on and in "Bagel in Love" by Natasha Wing and Helen Dardik, you'll meet the most adorable pair of characters ever.

Bagel loves to strut his funky stuff, but for some reason he really struggles to find a partner.

With the annual dance contest coming up fast, poor Bagel sits on the sidelines, coming to terms with the prospect that he may never get to shine in front of an appreciative audience.

But wait, there's a certain little cupcake who might be able to help him fulfil his dream. From a sad bagel to Fred Eclair (oh we can't resist a bun-shaped pun or two!)

The story is adorable and should tick all the boxes for mini "Strictly Come Dancing" fans.



Helen's illustrations are also utterly sublime, and dare we confess that it's almost impossible not to suffer from chronic sugar cravings while reading this book?



Super stuff for tinies!

Sum this book up in a sentence: A glorious little underdog story with the cutest baked characters you'll ever see strutting their funky stuff.
