Arnie the Doughnut

Arnie, the DoughnutThis is probably one of the best children's books I have found. The illustrations are bright and beautiful. The book is rich with dialogue and characters. The main character Arnie is such a treat. He is funny, sensitive and silly.His crazy antics keep you going the entire story. I bought this book for my 7 year old and she guards it with her life. It is a very fun story full of animation and giggles. I highly suggest this book if you want to give someone a smile.

Lots of fun!

Who knew that doughnuts could be so much fun? Well, Laurie Keller did, and that's why she was clever enough to write this book! The story of Arnie the doughnut, trying to save himself from being eaten alive is laugh out loud funny. Arnie wonders why he is an unlucky doughnut when he is not to be chosen to be taken home by some of the shop's customers. Then he learns that perhaps he would have been better off staying at the bakery--be careful what you wish for! The title caught my eye when I first saw it, but I was not sure how a doughnut would play out in a children's book. I am so glad that we got it, because it is a much loved story that we read over and over again.

A hilarious book. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kids like books to be read over and over again. With Arnie the Doughunt, I think the adults possibly enjoy it more than the kids. Her little comments all over the page are very funny.

Very clever & funny book

Not your typical, dopey little kids book.
The hilarious premise of this book is made only funnier by tons of little asides written throughout the margins. My kids and I have read it hundreds of times and seem to find something new each time.
As a friend of mine said, 'It doesn't insult kids' intelligence.' Very true, as it's also funny for adults!
Author's other book about Great States is also a gem.

Very cute!

This is a cute book that gets even better when read aloud by a skilled story teller! The main character is a doughnut that cannot wait to be taken home and turned into a best friend. He is appalled to find he is going to be eaten. I read it to my second grade students two weeks ago, and it has been requested every reading time since. The story had clever thoughts and wording. It's funny, the pictures add a lot to the story.

A deliciously imaginative story about friendship?from the author / illustrator of The Scrambled States of America.

Arnie was fascinated as he watched the customers stream into the bakery. One by one, doughnuts were chosen, placed in paper bags, and whisked away with their new owners. Some went by the dozen in giant boxes.
?Good-bye!? Arnie yelled to each doughnut. ?Have a good trip!?
?This is so exciting!? Arnie beamed. ?I wonder who will choose ME??

At first glance, Arnie looks like an average doughnut?round, cakey, with a hole in the middle, iced and sprinkled. He was made by one of the best bakeries in town, and admittedly his sprinkles are candy-colored. Still, a doughnut is just a doughnut, right?

WRONG! Not if Arnie has anything to say about it. And, for a doughnut, he sure seems to have an awful lot to say. Can Arnie change the fate of all doughnuts?or at least have a hand in his own future? Well, you?ll just have to read this funny story and find out for yourself.
