What’s For Lunch?
By Ann Garrett
(Check Catalog)
Lift the flap illustrations reveal what panda, monkey, toucan, rabbit, elephant, moose and you are having for lunch.
LJ Reviews 1999 December
PreS-K-This oversized pull-the-flap book tells youngsters what pandas, monkeys, and other animals eat for lunch. A rhyme describes the food on one page; opposite it is a large, brightly colored illustration of the animal covering its mouth. It appears as if the creature is hiding a smile, but pulling the flap reveals that it is actually devouring its meal. The rhymes are simple, humorous, and appealing. "This fuzzy, furry, friendly rabbit/has a very well-known habit./Breakfast, dinner, snack, or lunch,/a carrot's what he loves to crunch." Each page is a vivid wash of a single background color that makes the featured animal stand out. The last page shows a small child making a mess of eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The size of the book, the bold illustrations, and its humor make it an excellent addition to storytime collections as well as for home enjoyment.-Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
