Summary: Arnie, the doughnut is proud to be a doughnut until he finds out that doughnuts are meant to be eaten! Yikes! When he finds out, he tries to convince Mr. Bing (the customer that purchased Arnie) not to eat him. Together, the two of them try to come up with ideas for Arnie to do besides become a snack for Mr. Bing.

In the classroom: I would use this book to teach creative problem solving. It would be a funny way to introduce a fairly in depth topic.
