Praise for the Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut series (Bowling Alley Bandit, Invasion of the UFOnuts, and The Spinny Icky Showdown):

"A bowling tournament gives the rolling raconteur introduced in the 2003 picture book Arnie the Doughnut fresh scope for wisecracks and wild misadventures. . . . Like triumphant Mr. Bing, Keller walks off with a 'Stiffy Stu McShiny' award for this yummy chapter-book series opener." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, for Bowling Alley Bandit

"Keller shrewdly targets hesitant readers with an abundance of goofy comedy." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, for Bowling Alley Bandit

"Should be a winner with reluctant readers who . . . are ready for a generous dose of extreme silliness." -Childrens Literature for Invasion of the Ufonuts

Customer Reviews

Very fun

I read this book to my 4 and 3 year old. They loved it. It was fun for me too because of all of the fun puns, names and references. Very clean, silly and entertaining. It took us 3 days to read it. The only thing my kids weren't crazy about is the pictures are in black and white. I would say it's similar to a Geranimo Stilton book except an easier, shorter read.
