Lunchroom Lizard

32 pp. | Putnam | July, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-24178-7 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Gil, a classroom gecko on the loose, heads for the lunchroom. Familiar dramas unfold (mixed-up lunches, friendships on the rocks), as readers hunt for Gil on each page. The rhyming text, often in dialogue balloons, jumps from character to character, mimicking cafeteria chaos but creating a choppy and distracting read. The colorful illustrations are mildly engaging.
