Book Reviews of The Runaway Dinner
Book Review: Funny, clever story
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book after a link took me to it via Amazon. It looked fun...and it is. My kids (5 & 6) love this story. It is so clever! There are a lot of opportunities for kids to find things in the illustrations, remembering the names of all the peas is a riot. I will say that this story is best read aloud and with lots of dramatization (makes it more fun). After the second reading we were all hooked and giggling with each read.
