This is one of those children's books that adults would enjoy as much as the kids. I read it with my nine-year-old daughter, then I had my 11-year-old son read it, too. The main character, Donuthead, is the neurotic only child of a laid back single mom. He makes an unlikely friend who helps him lighten up, while he and his mom end up helping the friend out as well. I tend to be a worrier myself, so I cracked up at the lengthy descriptions of how Donuthead's safety-obsessed mind works.
