Book Description from the Front Cover Flap
Even though Yum Yung lives in Korea, the idea of a New York bagel just pops into his head one day. Yum Yung declares:"I want a bagel!"
Yum Yung's search begins at the highest mountaintop, where he finds a pigeon to take his message to New York. "I would like to order one bagel to go," he writes. After a long wait and no bagel, Yum Yung asks his friends the farmer, the fisherman, the beekeeper, and the baker for help. Their creative solution is sure to delight all who have yearned for a delicious treat.
