Donut Feed the Squirrels
Publisher: Pushkin Children’s Books
When Norma and Belly spy a donut truck near to the forest, they desperately want a sweet, delicious donut for breakfast. Yet when the grumpy donut seller sprays the hungry squirrels with water instead of giving them what they want, Norma and Belly hatch a plan to get inside the donut van and help themselves – and add some chestnuts into the mix for extra yumminess.
Things are going very well until the donut machine explodes, and the donut seller catches Norma and Belly cake-handed. Fortunately, the squirrels escape – leaving the donut seller with a huge mess to clear up, and inspiration for a new donut flavour…
Mika Song’s sweet, amusing and simple graphic novel about two naughty squirrels features large panels and brief text, meaning that this is a suitable read for younger and middle primary readers, especially any young reader who enjoys animal friendships and gentle humour.
It’s a quick read which is also arranged into chapters, adding a layer of ease and accessibility to the reading process. Plus, there are donuts. What else could you really ask for?
