Hilarious mismatches of characters with their careers in these illustrated chapter books that help children gain confidence as newly independent readers

I thought this book was really funny - especially the food fight!

The book is very nice. There are quite a number of funny things in it like when Donald made Pasta, he added colours in it and that made it funny.

The cook (Donald) was really funny. He was a children’s entertainer, but he didn’t like the last party as the children threw food at him.

I didn't enjoy it because it was not funny. It was an easy read.

It was very funny reading about Donald. He thought he was going to entertain a special party but he was mismatched of being a famous chef. Donald, in reality, was a children's party entertainer so he wasn't a very good chef but, eventually, he performed interestingly!

It was fiction and I liked the part of the book where they drive in the taxi to the mansion house. Definitely recommend it.

i liked it when Donald squirted the toast in to the customers mouths.

I liked it because I thought that when the cook brought out all the meals it was funny.

It was really funny and there was lots of mischief in it. I like books like that.
