Publisher's Review
It happened before the village bread festival.
A bread-bursting showdown between a bread thief and a suspicious French bread baker!


The bread made by the bread thief is very tasty.
Then one day, a suspicious person sneaks into the forest bakery where the bread thief works.
While no one was around, a suspicious loaf of bread moved among the French breads, ripping up the bread thief's cooking research notebook, spilling the ingredients on the floor, and making the dough he had made unusable!

“Brother, I saw with my own eyes the suspicious French bread coming out of the forest bakery last night and going to the neighborhood bakery!” Roll Bun, who saw the suspicious French bread running away from the forest bakery, tells this to the bread thief, and the bread thief heads to the neighborhood bakery where the culprit ran away with the cream buns that the old man made.
But the identity of the suspicious French bread that appeared in front of the angry bread thief was none other than...
The natural enemy of mice is the cat!

“Wow~~~~~~~! Oh, it’s a cat!” The bread thief is so shocked by the truth about the French bread that his bread mask comes off.
The cat, who realized that the bread thief was a mouse, suddenly started to lose his appetite.
It was none other than the old man's cream bun that saved the bread thief from a life-or-death situation! Realizing that he was in dire straits, the bread thief threw the cream bun the old man had given him into the cat's mouth.


“It’s not tasty!” The cat, who looked like he was about to swallow the bread thief, lost all his threatening behavior and all his motivation when he saw how tasteless the cream bread the man made was.
Who will win the battle between the bread thief and the French bread thief, who barely escaped danger thanks to the old man's cream bun?

“The Bread Festival is not a day to compete with each other, but a day to enjoy!”
Bread and life are happier and more beautiful when they are together!


The cat was very angry because all the customers were stolen from the forest bakery.
The bread thief's heart races at the thought of the annual 'Bread Festival', but the cat, determined not to lose customers, uses French bread and wreaks havoc on the bread thief's kitchen.
However, the cat, who became gentle after eating the old man's cream bread, confesses to the bread thief why he made a mess of the kitchen and apologizes. The bread thief, who found out the cat's story, tells the cat one important fact.
“The Bread Festival is not a day to compete with each other, but a day to enjoy!”

The bread thief, who used to steal bread to keep it all to himself, has now grown enough to tell his friends that sharing is more fun.
He makes a dramatic reconciliation with his natural enemy, the cat, and even suggests going to a bread festival together.
And finally, the two put their heads together and succeed in making a cat paw cream bun that melts in your mouth.
It's finally time for the "Bread Festival," a day filled with delicious bread! Bakeries like "Kkangchong Village Jam House," "Eummaeummae Sandwich," and "Gaegulgaegul Coupé" will gather to showcase a diverse array of breads, and the bread-loving customers will all be delighted.
The Bread Thief and the Cat also participate in the festival under the name of 'Forest Neighborhood Bakery', a combination of the names of the Forest Bakery and the Neighborhood Bakery, and the Cat Hand Cream Bun is very popular.
The Forest Bakery and the Local Bakery have now decided to sell bread together in the village square once a month.
Both shops have become beloved bakeries for their customers, and the cats' faces are also filled with smiles.
This is the story of "The Bread Thief and the Suspicious French Bread," where everyone, regardless of whether they are winners or losers, laughs happily and becomes friends.
