Finally, a copy of this book!
Rating:
5 / 5
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!!
This reprint will attract new generations

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.

In 1973 Stamaty (best know today for his satirical "Washintoons" and "Boox" comic strips) wrote,"Who Needs Donuts?", now re-released by popular demand. A virtual cornucopia of images, the story follows the adventures of Sam, a boy obsessed with a need to have, "more donuts than his mother and father could ever buy him". Driven by his donut lust, Sam hops on a tricycle and leaves the suburbs for the big city. Finding a fellow donut enthusiast in the form of Mr. Bikferd, Sam and his new friend begin a city wide donut search. Some parents will wish avoid a tale of strangers promising sweets (a picture of Mr. Bikferd and Sam standing in the doorway of a darkened warehouse will certainly raise concerns). Yet few books can claim to be half as visually stimulating as Stamaty's vision, one that has not dimmed or become dated since its original 70's conception.
