Let's Eat, Pete It's Lunchtime at School, is about time management and being open minded about individual eating preferences. We all know picky or finicky eaters and habitually tardy pupils. Children always look forward to a midday lunchtime hour long refreshing break. Getting to let loose with friends, while enjoying something tasty and munchable, followed by a rec break in the school yard was a big treat and highlight of the day. In school, I was almost always hungry the last 1/2 hour; sometimes the belly growling was downright distracting. The tummy echo sometimes prompted kids to glance over with a laughable look, guffawing at my gastro discomfort. I'm sure they could all relate as few kids ever had adequate time to get enough breakfast to tide them over til lunch, usually because of tight schedules. We were 5 and it was tough to gobble down enough breakfast before rolling out to not be late. It was a daily challenge not just for us but my beleaguered patient parents. I love all animals big and small, and my characters are almost always loveable creatures, with personality, and attitude, and with lessons to teach and learn, just like big and little kids everywhere.
