The End by Jim Benton
3.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade

Similar to Z Is for Moose, this is a cute take on a character that wants more "page time" from the book. The premise is very simple, the words are minimal and you will breeze through this book. But that is what makes it fun, especially when Donut the bear finally gets a story but the next spread is the last page. What Benton succeeds with this character is the compassion that the audience holds with him because he is most certainly cut off short by a quite rude narrator, providing an excellent juxtaposition and not just a "greedy" bear.
