Arnie, the Doughnut
Arnie, the Doughnut | Laurie Keller
12 posts | 12 read | 1 to read
A deliciously imaginative story about friendshipfrom the author / illustrator of The Scrambled States of America. Arnie was fascinated as he watched the customers stream into the bakery. One by one, doughnuts were chosen, placed in paper bags, and whisked away with their new owners. Some went by the dozen in giant boxes. "Good-bye!" Arnie yelled to each doughnut. "Have a good trip!" "This is so exciting!" Arnie beamed. "I wonder who will choose ME?" At first glance, Arnie looks like an average doughnutround, 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-colored. 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. Can Arnie change the fate of all doughnutsor at least have a hand in his own future? Well, you'll just have to read this funny story and find out for yourself. Arnie, the Doughnut is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

So our little guy is not the biggest of reading but at least he is into reading a book or two before bed. However, he had been talking about this book with a doughnut on the cover non stop since his first day of school. By some miracle and luck I managed to figure out the book and bought him a copy. A fun, silly story that is dialogue oriented with colourful pages. He wants to read it in the morning and the night 😁!

The book Arnie the Donut by Laurie Keller has won a Geisel award and is a fun and entertaining story about an unlikely friendship between a donut and a lonely man. Children love this book and the images that are provided with it! This book would be great for a read aloud in a whole group setting. #ucflae3414f19

Shannyblake After reading this book, I would ask students questions about friendship and if sometimes they have to make changes to keep their friendships. A fun read aloud I found for this book is https://www.schooltube.com/media/Arnie+the+Doughnut+read+by+Chris+O%27Dowd/1_04a...

Shannyblake The ESOL Strategy I would use is 17. Provide contextual support through audio visuals, models, demonstrations, realia, body language and facial expressions and the UDL guideline I would use is Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships (3.2)

Erinehart This book seems really cute. I think your ESOL strategy aligns perfectly for this text. 4y

DrSpalding I have not seen this one! While I like online read aloud‘s, I also want to emphasize that you need to be modeling the effective read aloud‘s for your students. 4y

I don‘t usually make amigurumi but wanted to try making a cupcake for a friend who owns a bakery that hires special needs teens. The kids of course insisted that the cupcake is theirs and so I made a doughnut to accompany Miss Cupcake. And I‘ll make another for my friend #audiocrochet

WorldsOkayestStepMom Honestly, any of them. But I prefer the more dense, yeasty types of doughnuts. The only doughnut shop in my town sells the super light and airy types that my husband and kids love. 5y

Enjoying a fresh from the oven chocolate fudge doughnut! It looks especially black as I used the Hershey‘s Special Dark Cocoa Powder!

RealLifeReading @Jinjer this post is just for you! 6y
saresmoore Mmmmm 6y
JoScho Your cooking skills always amaze me. I am a 36 year old woman and I straight up made pizza rolls for dinner last night. I did however make them in the oven instead of the microwave. I‘m fancy like that. 6y

WarpedSweetness Mm, I would love a doughnut. I haven't had a Krispy Kreme in months. The closest one to me is 163 miles away. 7y
mrsmarch I baked donuts for my bestie's birthday this weekend. Best decision. 7y
RealLifeReading @mrsmarch wow! You're a good friend! 7y
RealLifeReading @Reecaspieces @Suet624 @britt_brooke he's getting better at eating doughnuts. He used to just eat the icing and sprinkles and leave the dough!! 7y
RealLifeReading @vivastory a few years back, before Singapore got its own Krispy Kreme, a friend bought several dozen and hand carried them on the long flights home! 7y
Suet624 @RealLifeReading usually the topping is the best part. 😁 7y
WarpedSweetness @RealLifeReading I know! I used to eat them allllll the time when I lived back in PA. It might be worth the trip to Utah for some. 7y

My son says this book is a thumbs up. I think it has to do with the fact that he loves doughnuts. I laughed at parts and thought other parts were kind of creepy, but if it encourages his love of reading well, then, thumbs up!

Kangaj1 My kids love Arnie! 7y
rockpools 🍩👍🏼 7y
TrishTheBibliophile @MelissaJ are there more Arnie books? This was a random one he picked up at the library but I'm sure he'd love more if there are! 7y
