Average Ratings:

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.

Summary: Delightfully funny story....don't eat me!!
Comment: My six year old daughter Serenity, really enjoyed this humorous tale, about , what else...doughnuts! She is a fond Dunkin Doughnut fan, well, I think she is a bit biased, but loves the tale. It really is a very cute entertaining story. And, she watched the cartoon on TV the other day and was reminded how good the story, and book, is. A great addition to any pre-school / kindergarten's library.

Summary: Great book!!
Comment: This book is a wonderfully creative and entertaining book to read to a 1st to 3rd grade class. The illustrations are great and the kids love the story. My daugher must have read this book 20 times within the past 2 years; and that alone makes this book great. A must for every classroom and for every mom or dad who wants their child to read more.

Summary: Arnie is good but not great!
Comment: Arnie the doughnut realizes doughnuts are destined to be eaten; however, he is determined to convince Mr. Bing, the man who purchased him from the bakery, that he should not eat him. The two become friends and finally agree to form a "Man's best friend" sort of a relationship and it is rather endearing. My daughters 3 and 5 laughed out loud, but you should note that my girls also love Dog Breath!: Horrible Trouble With Hally Tosis (Dog Breath) and Walter The Farting Dog: Banned From the Beach (Walter the Farting Dog). The illustrations are very unique and the humor is a bit over-the-top for children's book, but somehow the whole story works. It is a good book for encouraging your kids to make predictions, and it certainly promotes a wild imagination. Arnie the Doughnut is good but not great. Definitely worth reading, but I would recommend checking it out of your library and spending your money somewhere else on Amazon.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A hilarious book. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it.
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Lots of fun!
Comment: 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.
