Sam’s love of donuts takes him to the Big City where he makes friends with Mr. Bikferd, a world class collector of donuts. But when Mr. Bikferd falls in love with Pretzel Annie, the prophecy of an old homeless woman comes true: “Who needs donuts when you’ve got love?” Mr. Bikferd bequeaths his donut collection to Sam, who uses it to save the old homeless woman from drowning in a basement flooded with coffee. This is a reissue of Mark Alan Stamaty’s masterpiece of the absurd, first published 30 years ago and out of print nearly as long. With an illustration style that mixes a benign Hieronymus Bosch with an urban Where’s Waldo?, Stamaty’s off-the-wall humor is on target for little kids and big kids today.

Beautiful Artwork, Beautiful Story
The art work is spectacular -- such minute and fine drawings! Even if a child isn't drawn to the story, she will be drawn to the artwork. I heard an interview with Mark Alan Stamaty on NPR which is what prompted me to order this book. The story behind the story was what compelled me to find a copy and purchase it. I think I enjoy it more than my grandchildren do, but I am delighted to own this book. Beautifully illustrated, wonderful story, and after all, who needs donuts when you have love?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
