Dom the Doughball Julie G Fox

No matter what part of the world you come from, you must have heard a bedtime story about some kind of baked good hopping out of the oven, running away, and escaping a series of pursuers before being eaten, usually by a fox. What varies from culture to culture is what kind of baked good it is. In some countries, it's a pancake or a cornmeal cake or a dough ball that does the running away. In others it's confectionery. Gingerbread cookie man is the English and American version for example. Every time the pancake/doughball/cookie meets a hungry character on his path through the woods, he boasts about escaping from multiple animals who tried to eat him. Often (as in the Russian version) he is singing his verses. Join Dom the Doughball, a brave doughball who ran away from a local pizza place, on his journey through the town under the rainbow, and sing his cheeky song together with him. Dom the Doughball inspired Darina Krisanova, our young illustrator, to try her hand at illustrating stories. Dom the Doughball became the first book in the series of picture books authored and illustrated by children. Join Dom the Doughball, a brave doughball who ran away from a local pizza place, on his journey through the town under the rainbow and enjoy Darina's art.
