Ziggy's Big Idea

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 4
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Ziggy loves coming up with new inventions. Unfortunately, though, most of his inventions just don’t work out, like the square ‘Ziggyball’ or the ‘shulstilts’ he makes for Rabbi Levi.

Ziggy’s father sells buns for Moishe the Baker, but Mrs. Schwartz always complains that the buns are undercooked at the center. That’s when Ziggy puts his creative mind to work, with his idea for making the bakers buns tastier and easier to carry, leading to the creation of one of the worlds favorite treats – the bagel! Bagel recipe included.

Reviews

Jewish Book World

“Cleverly written and tastily presented, this sweet book is highly recommended for ages 5-9.” — Jewish Book World

Publishers Weekly

“It’s solid storytelling, and Joni’s earth-toned drawings are a pleasing mix of flattened perspectives, dimensionality, and texture.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Kirkus Reviews

“The story’s dialogue-driven, child-oriented approach makes a nifty starting point for this ‘origin tale’ of a much-loved breakfast food.” — Kirkus Reviews
