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?

Keller grew up in Muskegon, Michigan. After graduating high school, she took education classes at a local community college and studied dance until a friend brought her to see a show at the Kendall College of Art and Design, which re-sparked her interest, causing her to enroll and receive a degree from the college in illustration. Keller has written and illustrated six books for Henry Holt Books for Young Readers: The Scrambled States of America, an American geography book; Open Wide: Tooth School Inside, a dental book about tooth care; Arnie the Doughnut, about an anthropomorphic doughnut; Grandpa Gazillion's Number Yard, a number book, Do Unto Otters, a book about manners; and The Scrambled States of America Talent Show, the follow-up to her 1998 debut.

It’s JJ’s birthday today, and we’re celebrating with a delightfully silly favorite from our library, Arnie The Doughnut by Laurie Keller.A tie-in card game of the same name was published in 2002 by Gamewright. [2] It is a two to four-player game geared toward players 8 years old and up. 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.

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. This title has Common Core connections Silly, joyful fun. Arnie’s adventure is a romp through several comedic set-ups, from how donuts are made to a brainstorming session on jobs a donut could have OTHER than food, leading readers on a ridiculous ride sure to inspire giggles. Adding to the humor are the controlled chaos of the illustrations, featuring a wild cast of characters – culinary and otherwise – who offer small text asides of jokes, factoids, and visual gags. The length is perfect for a storytime, but these visual Easter eggs make a longer perusal well worth the effort. JJ loves this one, especially the theatrical tone of the dialogue that makes reading aloud a ton of fun. A funny foodie tale with a unexpectedly sweet ending, and we recommend it. Baby Bookworm approved!

This book could be used when discussing “problem and solution” of a book. It would also be a good book to use when teaching “author’s purpose” or doing a “character analysis”. A teacher could use it for a writing lesson when teaching “voice”. Students could write about another food item and have it take on human qualities. Students could speak from that food item’s point of view. This is part of my 365 Kids Books challenge.

Part of it is being impressed with how Keller worked out the conundrum to provide an ending that was perfectly satisfying in an unexpected way. Big brain thinking. It's a happy store at least in part because of how unhappy it could be.Yet another book I liked more the second time around. Keller's sense of humor is appealing, the artwork has a funky quality, the story amuses, especially the big plot twist.
