A re-illustrated classic Golden Book that was first published in 1951, this book gets a charming new look. Pantaloon is a dog that loves to eat baked goods. So when a job opens at his local bakery, Pantaloon thinks he will be perfect for it. But the baker doesn’t. He thinks that Pantaloon will eat more than he bakes. Pantaloon even tries a disguise to get the job, but he’s discovered. While Pantaloon is in the barber shop getting his hair cut and trying to come up with his next plan, the baker h...more
Adorable book with bright pictures about a poodle in pants who likes to wear hats and eat the pastries in the bakery. One day the baker has an accident b/c of Pantaloon's bicycle and he takes over, decorating and delivering the baked goods all over town. He leaves the baker but everyone wonders where he has gone so the baker bakes an enormous cake to get him back and they live happily ever after.
Maybe I should stop reading books because I think the title is cute. This one wasn't for me. Sometimes the text rhymed, but mostly it didn't. That threw me off. In some ways the story dragged. In some ways it didn't flow as smoothly. Some other things that bothered me would probably sound even more picky, so I'll leave it at that.
I'm not what the story is on this re-illustrated re-issue but it's great. Pantaloon wants to be a baker, but the baker is concerned he might be more than he bakes. After a series of mishaps the baking bonding is in high swing!
New 2010 retro-classic illustrations added to this circa 1951 Golden Book about a bike riding poodle who wants nothing more than to become a baker. The illustrations look great & the story is age-appropriate fun.
Cute, but not in a "you-must-buy-this-book-right-now" way. I think kids will get a kick out of Pantaloon's disguises. (I sure did!)

A poodle with an insatiable desire to become a pastry chef.
This one got a lot of play in my house. The bright illustrations definitely helped.
My students really enjoyed this story! They enjoyed the fact that the dog was trying so hard to be a cook- and didn't give up. I actually thought it was a great story as well!
I positively LURVED the vintagey illustrations in this book!
