First book I have read by Neill Cameron. I loved it so much. The bit I loved in it most was the bit where the doughnut and the bagles were fighting... I am on the doughnut side.

Ok lets do this:
For some strange reason I felt slightly offcut by the donuts especially Sprinkles. He is really dodgy. It seemed to me that the donuts were trying to brainwash me and the bagels were the real victims. Admittedly there were funny moments but I felt like some of the humour surrounding Spronky the Peculiar donut was a little forced. In the future I would like to learn more about the bagels including Platoon Commander Poppyseeds backstop.
Characters:
⋆.˚✮Sprinkles✮˚.⋆
5/10 there is just something so off abt this guy i feel like he is the secret mastermind behind it all and is trying to ethnically cleanse the bagels.
"Here! Study the face of the enemy [the bagels]..."
"Don't you think they look a bit like us?"
"No!! we are very different!"
He is obviously hiding something
⋆.˚✮Jammyboi✮˚.⋆
6.5/10 jammyboi is purely British and just there for comic effect but he comes across as rather arrogant as he is always smirking
⋆.˚✮Caramel Jack✮˚.⋆
9/10 PEAK CHARACTER CARAMEL JACK IS MY GUY THE ONLY PROBLEM IS HE ISNT IN IT ENOUGH. JUSTICE FOR CARAMEL JACK!!!!
⋆.˚✮Chalky✮˚.⋆
7/10 funny and deserves more pages
⋆.˚✮Justice donut✮˚.⋆
8/10 a hero fuelled by anger and or sadness we do not know. I would like to see justice donuts backstory in a future novel
⋆.˚✮Anxiety donut✮˚.⋆
5.5/10 slightly better than Sprinkles yet just as if not even more unnerving. Why is anxiety donut so anxious? What is she anxious about? What is she running away from? Could it be the guilt at helping to lead the charge against the innocent bagels????
⋆.˚✮Dadnut and lil timmy✮˚.⋆
7/10 educational!!!! Didn't and lil timmy are two of the donuts who aren't twats. Way to go!!
⋆.˚✮Spronky✮˚.⋆
5/10 he's just... there doing bizarre things as previously mentioned the spronky humour is a bit forced
⋆.˚✮Private plainbagel✮˚.⋆
8/10 he's so nonchalant and mysterious
⋆.˚✮sergeant sesamesead✮˚.⋆
9.99/10 his name is just *chefs kiss* WE NEED MORE BAGEL ACTION THE BAGELS ARE INNOCENT
⋆.˚✮Platoon Commander Poppyseed✮˚.⋆
10/10 he is a musunderstood soul using anger to try gain justice for his wronged race. THE BAGEL BATALLION WILL HAPPEN ABD THE DONUTS WILL PAY
⋆.˚✮That one ginger guy ✮˚.⋆
8/10 proof that the donuts are evil, just let my man have his glow up pleaaase!!

I will definitely buy the next one. I can hear my bank account crying. Overall good but needs character building👌

Reseña de Súper Dónuts de Neill Cameron

🍩 Género: novela gráfica juvenil

🍩 Páginas: 208

🍩 5 ⭐️ de 5

Que bien lo hemos pasado leyendo juntos mi hijo y yo este cómic. Es una edición preciosa llena de color, donde encontraremos a diferentes donuts a cual más loco y divertido, sobretodo con uno que ha sido nuestro preferido haciéndolo que la gente se lo coma. Una lectura para poder disfrutar junto a nuestros peques que les encantará, y si ya son un poco más grandes podrán leerla solos ya que su letra es mayúscula. Una lectura muy recomendable para pasar un buen rato juntos leyendo las locas aventuras de estos dulces redondeados que tantos nos gustan.

Excellent silliness with clever writing and appealing illustrations. The strips work best when collected together, as you see simple gags repeat but with inventively different payoffs; and everything combines into a big meta-narrative at the end. My 8 year old and I had great fun reading it out loud!

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was quite funny and fun to read and I like the art + I need donuts now, but I had expected one story instead of short bits and bobs that connected in ways.
Oh, but I so love that the velociraptors looked like the way I know and love. Not those fluffy chickens.
And the how to draw bits were fun!

Irreverent and silly. Gorgeously illustrated! Great fun that I think kids will love! I know my class in particular are going to love making their own version of this thanks to the instructions and all the extras at the end!

My family read this together and we all loved it, it's absolutely hilarious. Laugh out loud humour brilliantly illustrated.

Ya le tenía echado el ojo a este libro en inglés, que lo vimos este verano, cuando estábamos de vacaciones, pero no nos atrevimos a comprarlo por si se les hacía difícil a las peques. Así que, cuando vi que lo traducían… ¡emoción máxima! ¡Y qué bien me lo he pasado!

Con unos dibujos súper coloridos y divertidos, nos van presentando a los distintos dónuts y sus características. La historia va avanzando como en “sketches”, de manera que cada página, más o menos, se dedica a un personaje o situación, pero luego se van interconectando.

No me pareció un cómic que solo puedan disfrutar los niños (de hecho, como os digo, me lo pasé genial leyéndolo). Creo que a los niños les puede encantar (¡viene hasta un tutorial para dibujar dónuts!), pero los adultos también van a disfrutar de esos momentos gamberretes que los dónuts nos regalan.

Así que, si eres más de dónuts que de bagels, te recomiendo un montón este cómic.

JAJAJAJJAJA pues es buenísimo. Por desgracia me siento identificada con el donut patidor
