LouAnn (a bear) is making a doughnut feast in preparation for her long winter's nap. But just before she takes the first bite, DING DONG! Her friend Woodrow (a woodchuck) drops by. LouAnn is happy to share her doughnuts, but as soon as she and Woodrow sit down to eat, DING DING! Clyde (a raccoon) is at the door. One by one, LouAnn's friends come over--Topsy (an opossum) and then Moufette (a skunk) and then Chip and Chomp (chipmunks)--until it's one big party. Louann welcomes her surprise guests and makes batch after batch of doughnuts, always dividing them equally among her friends. But she makes one BIG miscalculation. Soon LouAnn's kitchen is bare, winter is near, and she's had nothing to eat at all!

Kindergarteners @ChurchStreet_WP know that you’re reading a fiction book when you read about a bear making doughnuts, doing a magic trick or talking to other animals about a missing hat. We enjoyed DOZENS OF DOUGHNUTS by @CarrieFinison & @briannefarley and other favorites. https://t.co/1yvm9aWscn
