Summary: Offbeat classic
Comment: "Who Needs Donuts" is a very offbeat and funny book, notable for its highly detailed pen-and-ink cityscapes full of kooky details that can be studied for hours. It can also be read straight through if you prefer, and the story it tells is comical but strangely poignant. A young boy from a large family leaves his happy home in the country in search of donuts, heedless of the classic advice which he keeps hearing from a wandering old lady - "Who needs donuts when you've got love?" The boy makes his way to the big city, where he falls in with a slightly shady character who gets him all the donuts he could possibly imagine. (The boy proceeds to wheel them about with him in a wagon. This immense pile of donuts is hilarious to behold.) At this juncture the shady guy deserts him at the drop of a hat, and the boy is left alone with his donuts. Gradually he becomes dejected, but then he finds a use for the massive pile when a bull escapes from a china shop and ruptures a vat full of coffee, which begins to flood the basement home of the sleeping old lady whose advice gives the book its title. Thinking quickly, the boy comes up with the perfect rescue, and returns home where he belongs with his loving family. Adults as well as children may enjoy the unusual humor of this charming book, with its genuine moral message about material things.

Summary: Finally, a copy of this book!
Comment: I was so excited when my mom told me she found "Who Needs Donuts?" on Amazon! We have been searching for my original 70's copies with no luck. I am thrilled to have a brand new copy for my son. I still find this book to be fascinating and wonderfully entertaining. The illustrations are unbelievable. This book was one of my favorites as a child, and now I can enjoy it again as a mother. Thanks so much for re-releasing it!!

Summary: This reprint will attract new generations
Comment: Mark Alan Stamaty's Who Needs Donuts? first appeared in 1973 but 30 years later is just as compelling, even if its pictures are in black and white. Sam's dilemma of too many donuts involves a host of characters and zany situations as his donut-collecting gets out of hand. Long out of print, this reprint will attract new generations with involving, fun tales.
