Invasion of the Ufonuts by Laurie Keller
2.0
I'm really not the target audience for this so please take this review with a grain of salt. I haven't read this Arnie series before but won a copy in a blog giveaway. While it has a cute premise, with a talking donut and his best friend who is a slice of pizza trying to uncover the truth about a possible alien invasion, I found that the story dragged and was too predictable to hold my attention. I also wasn't a huge fan of all the word play, such as "tae kwon dough," "take me to your kneader," and "outer spastry," though I can see younger children enjoying it.
The illustrations are fun though I'm disappointed it is not in color. There is a lot of variety in the kinda of text used. It looked cool but actually made reading the book a little difficult.
Overall it was just an OK read for me but I think younger children might like it. And the format makes it a good book for children who are transitioning from picture books to longer chapter books.
