I thought I would share another book Charlie has picked out to gift to his new nephew Elijah for Christmas the book is If You Give A Dog A Doughnut.
If You Give A Dog A Doughnut is written by Laura Numeroff the story talks about giving a dog a doughnut Charlie. Once we finish reading the book I plan on making dog treats for Elijah dogs in the shape of doughnuts.
As well as including the recipe for Baked Sugar Donuts which Leslie Elijah mom can make for her and Toby for breakfast. When Leslie and Travis were smaller and would come and spend the weekends with David and I. Leslie and I would make this for breakfast.
The exuberant dog who first appeared in If You Give a Pig a Party now stars in his very own book in the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling If You Give… series!
If you give a dog a donut, he’ll ask for some apple juice to go with it. When you give him the juice, he’ll drink it all up. Then, before you can say “Woof” . . . Dog is off on a backyard adventure!
If You Give a Dog a Donut is another home run from the beloved team of Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.
Laura Numeroff is the New York Times bestselling author of IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, RAISING A HERO and WHAT MOMMIES DO BEST/WHAT DADDIES DO BEST. Laura was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up as the youngest of three girls, surrounded by art, music, and books.
Laura attended Pratt Institute and graduated with a degree in communications and a contract for her first children’s book, AMY FOR SHORT, published in 1975 by Macmillan.
A New York Times best-selling children’s book author, Laura is best known for the series based on her book IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE. First printed in 1985, “Mouse” is now beyond its 60th printing. The fourth book in the series, IF YOU TAKE A MOUSE TO THE MOVIES was on the New York Times Children’s Best Seller list for five months- nine weeks at number one.
In 2000, IF YOU GIVE A PIG A PANCAKE was featured on the Oprah show and was recommended by Oprah’s first kids’ book club, as well as being noted as Oprah’s favorite children’s book of the year on her Christmas show. “Pig” was also on Publishers Weekly Bestseller List for over a year. In addition, the series has sold over 4.5 million copies, been printed in fourteen languages, and won the prestigious Quill Award in the picture book category.
An avid animal lover, Laura has always wanted to write a book about service dogs. In 2016, with co-creator Sean Hanrahan, she released the first book of a new children’s series celebrating dogs with incredible jobs. RAISING A HERO supports Canine Companions for Independence and represents all those –human and canine– helping children, adults and veterans with disabilities and special needs.
President George W. Bush, First Ladies Laura Bush & Hillary Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama, with her mother and two daughters Malia and Sasha, read Laura’s IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE at the 2010 Easter Egg Roll on the White House Lawn. Laura was one of ten children’s authors invited to a literacy day in Washington during the Bush administration in 2001. Laura has also visited over 100 elementary schools and has been a speaker at teacher conferences around the country.
In addition to her work with service dogs, Laura also donates a portion of her book royalties to First Book, a non-profit organization that provides brand new books to children who otherwise would not have access to them. She donated all royalties from THE HOPE TREE – KIDS TALK ABOUT CANCER, to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Laura is thrilled at the release of her latest book, IF YOU GIVE A MAN A COOKIE, which is a fun parody of her IF YOU GIVE franchise… but it’s NOT a children’s book!
