Summary

Arnie finds himself in trouble when his neighbor, Loretta Schmoretta, begins telling news reporters that she was the victim of an alien abduction. And not just any aliens--alien doughnuts from outer spastry , who will continue the abductions until people stop eating doughnuts! Although Arnie thinks this is a ridiculous story, he notices that everyone is treating him differently, as if he is an alien doughnut rather than just a doughnut-dog. And then Arnie gets abducted! Arnie must think fast in order to rescue his fellow doughnuts and the townspeople from the alien invaders. The slapstick shenanigans continue in this hilarious second book in Laurie Keller's Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut series. This title has Common Core connections.

Horn Book Review

Arnie the Doughnut narrates his second adventure with caretaker Mr. Bing and friend Peezo (a pizza slice), in which Earth is threatened by a bizarre invasion. When wacky puns, eccentric characters, and doughnuts from outer space mix together with Keller's recognizable illustrations, it's a recipe for a deliciously zany story. Keller even works in a secret alien-doughnut language (think Pig Latin). (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
