The End (Almost)/Jim Benton by Scholastic Corporation/Scholastic Press

When Donut the bear is told his story is over and he has to leave, he DONUT want to do it. After all, he hasn’t had a chance to have any fun! Will Donut’s sneaky schemes and elaborate disguises be enough to keep his story from ending? Donut’s silly antics in this clever picture book from author Jim Benton are sure to delight kids who never want their favorite stories to reach The End.

Why we like it: Big cartoonish-illustrations and simple, funny text make this book a winner for the “kid” in all of us.  The chuckling will start on the first page when you meet the bear named Donut.  Very fun and silly.
