Imagine…you are craving doughnuts, so you make some. Yum! You are about to take a bite and dong-dong! Your friends show up. Of course, you share, but will there be enough for everyone? Big bear Lou Ann knows the answer and here’s a taste of why you will want to, as well.
 | A dozen reasons to love Dozens of Doughnuts: 1) The beauty of friendships are featured throughout the entire book. 2) A huge helping of heart is deeply rooted in the fact that it’s okay to host a variety of different emotions in friendships and life. 3) It’s a compassion-building experience in which kids will recognize the need for inclusion and 4) how to recognize when that’s gone wrong. 5) This naturally leads to and models forgiveness. 6) The rhyme is skilled and intricate, making for a fun reading experience and 7) fun surprises!
