Donuts is a great children's book that is perfect for children to read or for family, classroom, or library story time. I loved the illustrations by Adam Duff! They are wonderful. The image of Merl clutching/hugging his acorn with his eye's closed is priceless, and the one of him crying, tugs at the heart strings. Page after page is filled with beautiful illustrations.The way the illustrations and story work together to deliver the book's message is what really sets this book apart. The message it delivers about friendship and caring for one another (I enjoyed the image of Merl tending so lovingly to his beloved friend/tree) is one that adults and children alike will cherish. It teaches that loved ones are always with us as long as their memories are kept alive. I recommend Donuts for everyone this Christmas season and every season!Paul R.
