I decided for my next story I wanted to pick one that was contemporary for a children filled with poetry. This story, by Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman, is a witty story about how dinner leaves the plate! Banjo Cannon, a hungry boy ready for dinner, is about to eat his plate of dinner when it runs away! He tries to catch it, but all of his food is running too fast! Will he ever catch it? Find out by reading The Runaway Dinner!
I would give this book a 10 out of 10! It was such a cute read and a funny story for children to be hooked on to. The book is very wide, which allows the running of vegetables to look really realistic. The colors in this book are vibrant and really draw attention to the children reading the story. There are so many jokes in the story even I was laughing. This is a Danielle MUST read and you should definitely buy this book at a library near you!
It does sound very cute! I will have to look into it. The pictures look realistic too.
