Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut series.
In their third romp, doughnut Arnie and his pal, Peezo (a pizza slice), sign up for their favorite game show on which they compete in obstacles against Yummy Valley locals and Peezo faces his fearsome rival, Nick Pumpernickel ("the PUMPERNATOR!"). Keller's signature storytelling style shines with countless puns, grayscale cartoons, and word bubbles. The anthropomorphized foodstuffs will continue to delight their new-reader fans.

Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut series.
Arnie the Doughnut narrates his second adventure with caretaker Mr. Bing and friend Peezo (a pizza slice), in which Earth is threatened by a bizarre invasion. When wacky puns, eccentric characters, and doughnuts from outer space mix together with Keller's recognizable illustrations, it's a recipe for a deliciously zany story. Keller even works in a secret alien-doughnut language (think Pig Latin).

Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut series.
"Doughnut-dog" Arnie has been adopted by Mr. Bing, not to be eaten but to be his friend. When they attend Mr. Bing's bowling tournament, Arnie and his anthropomorphized-object friends--bowling balls, a slice of pizza--must solve the mystery behind the usually talented Mr. Bing's bowling blunders. With humorous cartoons and dynamically laid-out text, this zany book will engage young readers.
