Chatting books online Day 26. Today’s recommended book is one of my favorite regional storybooks. The Runaway Beignet by Connie Collins Morgan . In this delightfully wacky retelling of the little gingerbread man a lonely French baker in New Orleans creates a friend for himself when his beignet suddenly springs to life and leads him on a chase through the French quarter past lots of familiar sites all while shouting a soon familiar refrain . Over the years it has been one of our favorite storytime books (that’s me as the baker in the photos !) , but my favorite idea for this book was a gentlemen who bought copies of the book to package with a box of beignet mix and send to family and friends as gifts to remind them of Louisiana. I loved the idea of a Saturday morning family time with homemade beignets and a story .
