It''s time for lunch, and one little mouse is "famished" 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

關於作者:
Denise Fleming explains that Lunch
combines two of her favorite topics-- color and food. "I wanted to
create a color book full of colors-- bright, bold colors,
and lots of them-- not just red, blue, yellow, and green. So I
started with a small gray mouse who eats his way through the basic
colors although I admit to sneaking pink in there, too."
No paint or brushes are used to create the art in this book, nor is
Fleming''s art a collage. She creates the illustrations as images
within handmade paper, a technique called "pulp painting."
Ms. Fleming lives in Toledo, Ohio.
