Description
A generous but increasingly put-upon bear makes batch after batch of doughnuts for her woodland friends without saving any for herself in this delightful debut picture book about counting, sharing, and being a good friend. LouAnn (a bear) is making a doughnut feast in preparation for her long winter's nap. But just before she takes the first bite, DING DONG! Her friend Woodrow (a woodchuck) drops by. LouAnn is happy to share her doughnuts, but as soon as she and Woodrow sit down to eat, DING DING! Clyde (a raccoon) is at the door. One by one, LouAnn's friends come over--Topsy (an opossum) and then Moufette (a skunk) and then Chip and Chomp (chipmunks)--until it's one big party. Louann welcomes her surprise guests and makes batch after batch of doughnuts, always dividing them equally among her friends. But she makes one BIG miscalculation. Soon LouAnn's kitchen is bare, winter is near, and she's had nothing to eat at all!

Reviews
Praise for Dozens of Doughnuts A Junior Library Guild Selection "Deliver[s] as much satisfaction as . . . new doughnuts themselves." --Publishers Weekly "Deliciously illustrated . . . I like the writing, the story, the art, the doughnuts, the counting, the whole kerschmozzle." --School Library Journal "A whimsical picture book filled with lessons about sharing, being a good friend, and even counting." --Romper "A silly book with an important message about boundaries and not putting yourself last in relationships." --Book Riot
