Children's Book of the Month: Walter the Baker by Eric Carle.

It is about a baker named Walter who is famous for his breads, rolls, cookies, tarts, and pies. The Duke and Duchess especially love his warm sweet rolls, delivered fresh to their castle every morning. But one day the cat spills the milk, and Walter is forced to serve the Duke and Duchess rolls made with water. After one bite the Duke throws down his roll in disgust and summons Walter to his castle. He threatens to banish the baker unless he can take the same dough and make a good-tasting roll before the rising sun can shine through three times. Will Walter succeed in his task, or with he have to leave his town forever?
