Ill. by Mitch Vane. Black Dog Books, 2018. ISBN 9781760650278
(Age: 8+) Highly recommended. Themes: Friendship, School,
Playground. Another series of stories from the very popular TV
series, Little Lunch, will find even more friends as
children pick it up in school libraries. Funny illustrations litter
the pages as the children, Rory and Tamara find that fifteen minutes
is enough to get into all sorts of trouble. In the first chapter,
'Walkathon', Tamara wants to find a walking buddy for the upcoming
walkathon, and holds interviews with the applicants during recess.
The second chapter, 'The election', Rory decides he wants to be
Australia's next prime minister, while the third chapter, entitled,
'The girls' toilets', has the class practising for the school talent
show.
Each chapter is short and pithy, funny and illustrated, just long
enough for readers to read during recess, and exciting enough for
them to make sure they finish the episode by the time the siren
goes. Children will love to read of the antics of this group of
school kids, and what they get up to and revel in the similarities
with their own escapades and daily routines.
With the popularity of the TV series, this new book will find a host
of fans.
