A generous but increasingly put-upon bear makes batch after batch of
doughnuts for her woodland friends without saving any for herself in
this delightful debut picture book about counting, sharing, and being a
good friend.
LouAnn (a bear) is making a doughnut feast in preparation for her long
winter's nap. But just before she takes the first bite, DING DONG! Her
friend Woodrow (a woodchuck) drops by. LouAnn is happy to share her
doughnuts, but as soon as she and Woodrow sit down to eat, DING DING!
Clyde (a raccoon) is at the door. One by one, LouAnn's friends come
over--Topsy (an opossum) and then Moufette (a skunk) and then Chip and
Chomp (chipmunks)--until it's one big party. Louann welcomes her
surprise guests and makes batch after batch of doughnuts, always
dividing them equally among her friends. But she makes one BIG
miscalculation. Soon LouAnn's kitchen is bare, winter is near, and she's
had nothing to eat at all!
