Donut Feed the Squirrels, by Mika Song. Random House Graphic. Penguin Random House. 2020. $17.99 ages 6 and up

 


"Now all we need is a 
getaway driver ... 

I want to help! 

Oh! Hi, Little Bee. 
Can you drive? 

No. 

We do need a getaway driver.

I can do it!

Norma and Belly have donuts on their mind after Norma burns the morning pancakes, leaving them with nothing delicious to eat. Out they go - and discover a food truck parked close to the forest! It only serves donuts! What deliciousness awaits ... 

Wanting to return home with donuts for themselves and their friends, they offer chestnuts in trade. The food truck owner is not impressed, spraying them with water in an effort to send them on their way. They are going to need Gramps and Little Bee to provide the help they need to steal the donuts they are craving. It takes a lot of work and a great deal of inventiveness to complete their mission. With determination and a brand-new donut flavor, they are able to appease the donut maker. 

Mika Song's characters are full of charm and abundant energy. The minimal dialogue is most enjoyable, humorous, and positively accessible. This is a terrific graphic novel for those new to the genre, and for dedicated fans.
