“Everyone likes chestnuts, Belly”

This is a great book to introduce students to longer books. It is funny and they would have fun seeing the different scenes and conversations.

Donut Feed the Squirrels by Mika Song (2020) is a graphic novel that follows two squirrels named Norma and Belly. These squirrels really want a donut but things are not going their way throughout the story. They burn their breakfast and face other challenges throughout the day. This graphic novel follows their journey.

Fun graphic novel. Every time I see a donut machine, I think of Homer Price. This book will leave you hungry like a squirrel.

“We use it as frisbee“ talking about their burnt pancake.

For 4-8 year olds. This is silly, funny, and entertaining for littles. The speech bubbles have minimal words and the longer words are split like part-part-whole. EX: pan-cake. It is a great book to learn new words.

Norma and Belly are searching out a donut instead of yucky nuts. The donut store they find is ran by a cranky old man. So their only option is to steal the donut!

This book was a good book that was had a lot of play on words that made it enjoyable. I loved it was set up like a comic strip.

This book was so cute! It was a fun little read!

“I thought you were a bunch of dandelions”

This would be a very easy read for students and could be used over many different ages. It had a lighthearted plot with fun adventures. It could be a good introduction to graphic novels.

2020. A group of squirrels go on a mission to steal donuts from the donut truck. They devise a plan and have quite the adventure getting a hold of the donuts. This book does not have a lot of text, but the illustrations do a wonderful job of telling the story. Without words you are still able to understand what is going on. I love the use of onomatopoeia throughout to show different sounds and actions.

Donuts & squirrels? There was no way I wasn't going to love this book! 😄🐿️
