The Runaway Dinner

by Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman

What happens if a child’s dinner decides that, well, it doesn't want to be eaten? For a hungry little boy named Banjo and a savory sausage named Melvin, it's a plight that can only result in a breathless chase! Off speeds the sturdy sausage, leading a fork, knife, and plate, a table and chair, a handful of fries with various French names, and three fat little peas out the door, down the street, and around the park. Will the hungry boy ever catch them?

“ A loopy ride on familiar narrative rails, a fast-paced riff on ‘The Gingerbread Man’ with an entire smorgasbord thrown into the mix.” –The New York Times Book Review
