Who Needs Donuts?
Who Needs Donuts? | Mark Alan Stamaty
8 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Sam's love of donuts takes him to the Big City where he makes friends with Mr. Bikferd, a world class collector of donuts. But when Mr. Bikferd falls in love with Pretzel Annie, the prophecy of an old homeless woman comes true: "Who needs donuts when you've got love?" Mr. Bikferd bequeaths his donut collection to Sam, who uses it to save the old homeless woman from drowning in a basement flooded with coffee. This is a reissue of Mark Alan Stamaty's masterpiece of the absurd, first published 30 years ago and out of print nearly as long. With an illustration style that mixes a benign Hieronymus Bosch with an urban Where's Waldo?, Stamaty's off-the-wall humor is on target for little kids and big kids today.

Mehso-so

One of today‘s read alouds. I promise you that every page is this busy and detailed. I imagine it would be a nightmare for some of my students, but it is a fantastically imaginative yarn. The drawing are a lot lit those Waldo books or I Spy books. #picturebooks #classroombookaday

I got to enjoy an audio book filled work road trip yesterday. Giant donuts from an Amish bakery were brought back and devoured. We put the box on our UPS scale. A dozen donuts weighed 4lbs!

(Yes, I know this post follows my fitness goals)

So this is why donuts are bad for me, when I tell my husband I feel like a couple of donuts he buys all the donuts. I've had double this in the past. Thanks @Simona for the push 🍩❤️️
