Publisher's Synopsis
One of two delightful new books for very young readers by a highly talented and experienced children's book illustrator, Lenny Has Lunch vividly and simply portrays a charming relationship between a child and his parent. They prepare lunch together, play a game while waiting for it to cook, and then enjoy eating together, and all the time their dog Wilbur is trying to join in. It's a situation that will be familiar to all, but the charming depiction of Lenny and his dad engaged in this ordinary activity is brought to life by Ken Wilson Max's bright colours and strong simple lines. It's portrayal of a dad in a domestic role is refreshing, as is the depiction of a delightful and characterful black child at the heart of the book. With it's short and evocative text, this book will provide young children and their parents and carers with much to discuss.
