Book 1

Arnie, the Doughnut

by Laurie Keller

Published 1 April 2003
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 coloured. 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. Arnie has bigger plans in store for himself! Here's the bestselling picture book that launched the chapter book series: Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut.

Hello, Arnie!

by Laurie Keller

Published 29 September 2020
Arnie and his pastry pals are excited to meet YOU. But first he has a question: What kind of doughnut are you anyway? Let's see . . .

1) You're not round.
2) You don't have frosting or sprinkles.
3) You don't have filling coming out of your head.
4) You're not glazed with sugar.
5) You don't have a hole in the middle.

Hmmm, this is harder than Arnie thought. Whoever you are, get ready to say HELLO, ARNIE! This ingenious new picture book breaks the fourth wall as Arnie gets to know his youngest readers-preschoolers-and makes them giggle with every page turn. Perfect for fans of Mo Willems, Bob Shea, and Jory John.
