So much fun to read and notice all of the tiny details in the illustrations - another clever book from Laurie Keller!

I don't put picture books on here unless I thoroughly enjoy them. So, that right there should tell you something. This was fun to read out loud to all of my children, even the one that is "too old" to be read to. He understood the word play and such while the younger ones enjoyed Arnie. I recommend it for anyone, even if you are on a diet. ;)

Hilarious story about a doughnut who realizes he's about to be eaten and convinces his purchaser to spare him.

This was cute book. My 3 year old thought it was funny. There are tons of little supplemental illustrations with captions throughout the book so it's a little too muddled for my taste. Based on the fact that I'll probably have to read it several more times before we return it to the library, I give it a four.

Brief summary Arnie is being taken from the doughnut shop to live (at least he thinks that) with Mr. Bing
Annotation
Arnie has no idea that doughnuts are for eating when he find out he tries to convince Mr. Bing that there might be other ways to be of service. This is a great read for kids who love to look at detailed illustrations and who like funny situations.
