About this 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 JournalAuthor

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually found this book to be confusing and it listed many different names from 1844 such as Hansen Greyson and talked about how he went to sea. The book was about a captian who name was actually Greyory. I thought the book was completely something different from the cover.There were actually a lot of words for a picture book. I wouldn't recommend it being placed on your list for 2016, because I didn't think the book was that great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The true story of the invention of the donut - rollicking, fun, unexpected, and enlightening. A delicious treat!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fun, simple story!!
