What's for Lunch?: A Play-And-Read Book

This book is a cute, very simple book that younger children can follow along to. I love it because it is play-and-read which intrigues the attention of its readers. The book explains visually what is going on along with the words and children are able to capture what is really happening. The monkey is looking for bananas to eat for lunch. As he swings from tree to tree he is asked about eating all the types of fruit there are. However, he wanted bananas. He finally found bananas at the very end. I think the story sets off the moral that it is ok to want something specific, but to keep trying and never give up until you find what you are looking for that you want. It also teaches children about using manners and also teaches them the show more different kinds of fruit there are to eat. show less

This is a cute book, very easy to read. The children would be interested because it is a play-and-read where the monkey swoops from page-to-page on a string like he's swinging from tree to tree. A monkey asks what is for lunch. He goes through many different types of fruits and says no thank you because in the end you find out that all he wants for lunch are bananas!

This is a very simple story about a monkey searching for his lunch. It's a basic book for very early readers. I liked that it had interactive parts for the reader to move. That made it more fun and interesting.

In all of Eric Carle's books, the art is simple and creative. This story is very short, but has great points. Manners are used on every page with the monkey, which may provoke children to want to use them more. "No, thank you." Then, "yes, please!" is used to show excitement of getting a banana. Also, "Thank you very much!"

This picture book had brilliant pictures that help young readers to learn their counting and numbers. There are ten pages, ten fruits, and one monkey in search if the perfect food for him to eat. The monkey is hanging from a string as you read the book for him to travel through with you while your reading.

I liked this book becaue I feel I like most books by Eric Carle. It is definitly geared towards younger children. It is about a monkey who is looking for a banana to have for lunch. He finally finds one at the end. There is also a little piece of string throughout the story which has a swinging monkey on it that you can slide between the pages. I think children would enjoy that.

This book is about a monkey who swings around looking for lunch. He sees different foods by different animals. He finally finds his banana tree for lunch. Its a good book for children to be interested in. They will love being involved and monkey moves in the pages.
