The fun and clever rhyme continue in the delicious tale,  Donuts by Julia Dweck. Donuts is an inspirational story about a sweet and determined squirrel named Merl and his BIG wish.Merl lived in a forest all alone after his friends "scurried on out of this far end of town, 'cause all of their trees had been cut to the ground." Merl looked high and low until one day he discovered one tiny acorn. He "wished for a tree and he held his eyes shut, as he made this big wish on a very small nut."  Now, as a lot of wishes do, Merl's came true and a large tree grew. Merl was disappointed, though, when he discovered the tree didn't produce any nuts. However, he still cared for and loved the tree all the same. One day a man gave, a very hungry, Merl a donut. Merl scurried to his tree to enjoy his sweet treat and that's when the most magical thing of all happened.Donuts is scrumptiously illustrated by Adam Duff who uses his creativity and talents to bring life to Merl's enchanting adventure.Join Merl on his quest to restore his home and discover how his really big wish leads to an even bigger lesson in friendship.I recommend picking up a copy of Donuts.
