Family Book Club: "The Doughnut Fix" and "Dozens of Doughnuts"

Pick up copies of this month's books at the Youth Services desk at the Middendorf-Kredell branch.

A book club for the whole family! Each month, we will provide one copy of a chapter book suitable for grades 4-6 and one copy of a picture book suitable for grades K-3. Read either or both books (we encourage reading them aloud!) and come to the Library to discuss the books with other families, do a related activity and craft, discover new reads similar to each month's books, eat snacks, and pick up copies of the next month's books! This is a family/group program; children attending must be accompanied by an adult.

The Doughnut Fix by Jessie Janowitz: Tristan's life takes a turn for the worse when his parents decide to move to middle-of-nowhere Petersville-a town with one street and no restaurants. It's like suddenly they're supposed to be this other family, one that can survive without bagels and movie theaters. His suspicions about his new town are confirmed when he's tricked into believing the local general store has life-changing chocolate cream doughnuts, when in fact the owner hasn't made them in years. And so begins the only thing that could make life in Petersville worth living: getting the recipe, making the doughnuts, and bringing them back to the town through his very own doughnut stand.

Dozens of Doughnuts by Carrie Finison: A generous but increasingly put-upon bear makes batch after batch of doughnuts for her woodland friends without saving any for herself.

Additional copies may be available to check out from our catalog: The Doughnut Fix (print and digital) and Dozens of Doughnuts (print and digital).
