Little Lunch: Loads of Laughs is the second installment in a humorous chapter book series, perfect for early elementary readers aged 6-9. Based on a popular Australian TV show, the book presents three distinct, relatable stories that unfold during the daily 15-minute lunch break at school. Children will encounter Atticus, who is wary of his grandmother's unusual snacks; Battie, a budding superhero struggling to find followers; and Melanie, who faces unexplained social exclusion. The book gently explores themes of friendship, fairness, self-expression, and navigating social anxieties, all wrapped in an entertaining and accessible format.
There's more in store for this snack-time crew in the second set of Little Lunch stories based on the hit Australian TV series. Little Lunch is the best time of day for the kids in Mrs. Gonsha's class, and there's always something interesting going on. First, Atticus doesn't want to eat the strange-smelling mystery snack his grandmother keeps packing in his lunch box. Next, Battie comes to school dressed as his own made-up superhero, Stretcho, but can't understand why no one wants to be rescued. And finally, Melanie is Germblocked by Tamara without explanation, which is hardly fair. A lot can happen in fifteen minutes!
