In fact, he's so hungry that once he starts eating, he can't stop. He sinks his teeth into a crisp white turnip, gobbles up some orange carrots, devours an ear of yellow corn, then tosses back some tender green peas. He's full, but this mouse keeps on munching until his bulging belly won't hold another bite.Parents will see their own toddlers in this perky tale, and toddlers won't get enough of the gregarious little mouse. They'll proudly identify the colors of his (and their) favorite foods, and enjoy guessing what fruit or vegetable he'll eat next. Color-savvy readers are sure to spot the rainbow contained in the background pages-- and almost everyone will agree that this is one book about colors that makes the plain old primaries look positively pale!An ALA Notable Book Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Yum.This book is perfect for teaching about color, description, and, best of all, good food. The bright images are larger-than-life picnic bits and the writing makes it all good enough to eat. This is pretty much a classroom staple for me. Rating:  - sniff snifffBooks about colors sometimes can be overwhelmingly successful. Not a lot of the time, it's true, but sometimes. Reading the cover flap for "Lunch", the book had this to say (about itself), "this is one book about colors that makes the plain old primaries look positively pale". Hrmph, said I. We shall see. So I flipped through this picture book, preparing to read the same old same old. And the fact of the matter is, the book flap was absolutely right. This book has the two elements absolutely ...

By the end of the book, he's covered in all the remnants from what he eaten, leaving a very obvious trail to his home. This is a delightfully fun book to read, but I would recommend it for a 2-4 child; because each page leaves the reader "hanging" on what is the next item the mouse will eat, it is best for a child who can understand more complex concepts. Again, Fleming has rendered a beautiful, if a bit abstract, visual ... Read More Rating: - HOW MUCH CAN A MOUSE EAT?. You will never see a cheekier mouse than the little fella starring in "Lunch". That bright pink nose going "SNIFF, SNIFF". Those gorgeous bucked teeth and that great long tail. The big bold typeface of the words is matched by the bright and cheerful colors in the pictures. The links between the pages is very cleverly done. You have to guess what is next on the menu. You only get to see part of the fruit or vegetables and a few descriptive adjectives, before you turn ... Read More Rating: - An exciting book about a hungry mouse.Designing handmade paper by drying multiple layers of boldly colored pulp shaped by hand-cut stencils allows Fleming to create an extravagant feast of appealing fruits and vegetables for one small gray mouse. Contrasting brilliantly colored fruits and vegetables with a black-and-white checked tablecloth, Fleming adds exhilaration to her illustrations. Large, black print (consistently placed on each page) forms short words making this storybook an ideal choice for a pre-reader. A hungry Mouse begins ... Read More
