Arnie, the Doughnut by Laurie Keller
4.0
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.
