Out to Lunch (Green Light Readers) - Softcover
"Mind your manners well today, we're out to lunch, not out to play!" When the babysitter calls at the last minute to cancel, Joe's parents take him out to lunch at a restaurant with neither crayons nor a play area. Mischievous Joe just can't stop wiggling and misbehaving. His amusing antics turn a quiet lunch at a fancy restaurant into a spectacle that ends with an unexpected treat!

About the Author:
PEGGY PERRY ANDERSON is a former elementary school art teacher who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has written and illustrated six early readers about Joe the Frog. They include Let's Clean Up, Joe on the Go, To the Tub, Out to Lunch, Time for Bed, the Babysitter Said, and I Can Help!.
From Kirkus Reviews:
A brief rhyming text, suitable for beginning readers, and cartoon-style illustrations chronicle a frog family's disastrous lunch at a fancy restaurant. Young Joe crawls under the table, plays with his food, slurps and burps, and, true to his froggy nature, catches a fly on his tongue. His parents try in vain to control him while other diners point and stare, frown indisapproval, and laugh out loud. The frazzled waiter, splashed with food and drink, clearly can't wait for the family to leave. And leave they do, to the safety of a fast-food joint, where Joe can cavort happily in the playground while his parents glumly eat their burgers and fries. This has funny moments, especially the fly-catching and the surprise ending, but the slapstick humor spins out of control, and the point of view is adult. Any parent who has endured such a meal will relate to this, but children may miss the point. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
