Meatloaf Monster from the School Cafeteria

In Mike Thaler's "Meatloaf Monster from the School Cafeteria," the daily school lunch takes an unexpected and monstrous turn. A seemingly ordinary meatloaf suddenly springs to life, growing larger and hungrier with every bite, threatening to consume the entire school. It's a delightfully absurd premise that sets the stage for a group of quick-thinking students to band together and devise a plan to stop the culinary creature. This chapter book is perfect for early elementary readers, offering a blend of humor, mild suspense, and a clear message about teamwork and problem-solving. Parents will appreciate the lighthearted approach to a "scary" situation and the emphasis on children taking initiative.
