Arnie, the Doughnut

Description

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-coloured. 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. Arnie has bigger plans in store for himself!

"Arnie takes destiny into his own hands with vastly entertaining results." --Publishers Weekly, starred "Laurie Keller is a goofball. She's a genius. She's a goofball and a genius." --New York Times Book Review "Keller gives 'pet food' a new meaning in this savory outing. . . . so deliciously silly is this confection, that few readers will pass up second helpings." --Kirkus Reviews "[G]ood for a belly laugh." --Newsday "Arnie is one of the cleverest and funniest books I've seen in a long time." --BookPage "[P]acked with fun and sprinkled with so many illustrative and humorous asides." --Star Tribune, Minneapolis, MN "In picture books, usually only dogs are as funny as this. Keller doesn't miss a trick." --San Diego Union Tribune "Keller's riotous collages. . . .which are filled with gleeful puns, winning characters, and over-the-top silliness, are as manic and fun as a sugar high." --Booklist "Off-the-wall humor and zany artwork" --Seattle Post Intelligencer
