Bagel's Lucky Hat

Bagel's Lucky Hat is a comical story about Bagel the dog and his search for his missing lucky hat. This wildly illustrated book captivates the reader, both young and old, from first glance. My seven-year old son grabbed this book when he saw the cover and devoured the book quickly from cover to cover. After his first reading, he looked up at me and said, "Mama, who ever wrote this book has A LOT of imagination!", and I concurred.

Bagel the dog and his friend Becky the cat are getting ready for bedtime when Bagel is upset to discover his lucky  hat is missing. As the friends puzzle about where the hat could be, Bagel thinks back over the wild antics of the day. Becky is in disbelief as Bagel recounts stories of sailing down a river with a school of laughing fishes, flying through the skies with a flock of friendly birds, chasing his lucky hat through the underground laboratory of a mad scientist, and getting trapped in a giant space-traveling robot, and making friends with aliens from deep space. Becky doesn't believe Bagel's outlandish stories, and it's a big surprise where Bagel's lucky hat turns up.  

The author of the story, Hector Mumbley, is an award-winning graphic novelist who has also worked on commercial projects such as Futurama.  Dave Cooper, the illustrator of Bagel's Lucky Hat, is an underground comic book artist. Together they create a wild and fantastical world in which Bagel the dog has some extremely imaginative adventures.
