The Runaway Dinner

40 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-3142-6 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Ingman. When a sausage named Melvin dashes out the door (followed by cutlery, furniture, and pets) at dinnertime, the chase is on. After a lengthy detour through the park, Banjo, the sausage's owner, is forbidden from eating his captured dinner because it's been on the ground. Lyrical text and guileless illustrations capture the fun of this nonsensical hunt.
Reviewer: David Elzey
