Laura Numeroff

If you give a dog a donut, he’ll ask for some apple juice to go with it. When you give him the juice, he’ll drink it all up. Then, before you can say “Woof” . . . Dog is off on a backyard adventure! The exuberant dog who first appeared in if you give a pig a party is now the star of his very own book. Written in the irresistible “If You Give…” tradition, if you give a dog a donut is another home run from the beloved team of Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.

If You Give a Dog a Donut

Sarah Sammis

If You Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Joffe Numeroff is seventh book in the series. Of all the sequels, this one feels the most like a reprise of the original, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie 

This time, though, it's a little bull dog and a donut. He's just as distractible and energetic as the little mouse. Except he's cuter. Felicia Bond's illustration style has matured and these drawings seem effortless. For me it, it's the artwork that makes it one of my favorites in the series.

For parents, the If You Give A series is variation on theme. You read one and it seems like you've read them all. Kids, though, find comfort in the same but slightly different.
