It's the middle of Summer Reading Club and if you are looking for children's books that will make you LOL, then look no further than Arnie the Doughnut and ATD Bowling Alley Bandit by Laurie Keller.
In the first Arnie the Doughnut book the reader discovers that Arnie doesn't quite understand what a doughnut's job is until Mr. Bing takes him home to eat.
In shock, Arnie asks Mr. Bing what he was doing. As anyone who eats doughnuts knows...he was trying to eat him. But Mr. Bing is just as shocked to find himself talking to Arnie. This is a picture book with colorful pictures and thought-bubbles will keep the reader engaged and laughing.
In the second ATD book, the reader has graduated to reading a chapter book. You are re-introduced to how Arnie came to be in Mr. Bing's life, just in case you haven't been fortunate enough to peruse the first book.
By Chapter 2 you are placed in the heart of the story...a bowling alley. Mr. Bing is on a bowling league called the Bingbats and Arnie loves bowling night. With an adventure around every corner, the pages are filled with funny graphics both boys and girls will enjoy. In Arnie's world, not only do doughnuts talk, but also bowling balls and pizza slices.
There is a mystery element to the story...who is the Bowling Alley bandit? You will have to read to find out.
