Review
The book stars Donut the bear in a very short story, which he does not want to have come to an end. He pushes the author to write more and refuses to get out of the story. The author finally concedes and writes Donut a story, but runs out of the room and, finally, ends the book. Very cute read-aloud. The yellow backgrounds are bight and cheery and the simple, primary colors of Donut and his story work well. I can see Donut as a recurring character for Benton and Scholastic, and I think that children will gravitate toward this/these books.
Overall Book Score: excellent
