Book Reviews of The Runaway Dinner
Book Review: A Runaway Hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our new favorite. My son has wanted to hear this story umpteen times and that is always a sign of a hit. I've had fun with the narrative style in reading it (it lends itself to dramatics and overdone tone), but now my son is trying to steal the show having memorized half the book himself. He takes over on the parts he knows and I fill in the words he missed. As a burgeoning reader, this ability to "read" with me is very exciting for him. I highly recommend this humorous tale to any that love a quirky book. Appropriate for ages 4-8, but duly loved by one five and half year old in this household.
