Review: Our Second Bob Staake Story, but Equally as Fun and Enjoyable, Kiddo Loves It! - I picked up this fun story after discovering and loving The Red Lemon, another Bob Staake gem, and The Donut Chef is just as entertaining, if not even a bit more engaging. It’s perfect for younger children but still very enjoyable for adults to read along as well. The length is satisfying, so you feel like you get a good value out of it, the story is charming, the lesson is entertaining, and the illustrations are full of personality. Plus, it rhymes, which makes it a cut above in our home, haha. As my second Bob Staake read, it did not disappoint and has quickly become another staple in our story collection. Highly recommended!
Review: Scrumptious funny tale, fantastic illustrations. - This beautiful, humorous, fun book was an instant hit in our house. It is one of those book, that both me and my kids agree that are simply great. They cannot get enough of it, The story is vibrant and fun - A doughnut chef opens up a doughnut store, and after his success, another doughnut chef opens a store next door! The two stores compete for costumers and in their rivalry, the chefs try to rise above each other in creativity: "They made new flavors, quite bizarre like cherry frosted lemon bars and peanut brickle buttermilk and gooey cocoa mocha silk!" How does it all end? You'll have to read and find out. What sets this book apart from others, in my view, are the REMARKABLE, nothing short of brilliant, illustrations. The illustrator, Bob Stakke, has a very unique graphic style, creating many characters, all of them funny and interesting out of simple graphic shapes such as circle, triangle and rectangles. Each page is vibrating with color, with fresh and exciting composition, really - a feast for the eyes. My kids spent long hours just revisiting the drawings, every time finding out something new and funny. I simply adore this book, and I am happy to read it again for the gazillion time. Though the story itself might appeal to 3yrs old and older, the beautiful and vivid illustration of doughnuts, frosting and other delicious things will appeal to even a 2 yrs old. This will make a wonderful gift for a kid you like, especially if this kid is yours and you will be the one reading it over and over again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter loves this book!
*by R***N on September 20, 2010*

I purchased this book because we have checked it out at the library many times over the last year and most recently renewed it 3 times in a row. My daughter just turned 5 and I bought it for her birthday. It is a very cute and clever book. The book is fun to read for adults and my daughter just loves the illustrations. It was the catalyst for her bakery themed birthday party and "doughnut cake" (doughnuts stacked in the form of a cake). It is actually a pleasure to read aloud because the rhyming flows and the story is good. The only reason I waited so long to buy it was because I was hoping it would come out in paperback. Paperback books are just easier (and lighter) to travel with. Overall, a great original kids story.
