Danny Katz is a newspaper columnist for The Age and The Sydney
Morning Herald, and is famous for his larger-than-life characters.
He is the author of The Modern Guru column in the Saturday magazine
(he swears those letters are real and he does not make them
up).
Mitch Vane has illustrated many children's books, including the
Little Lunch series, A Little Election and The Patch. She hates to
draw straight lines!
Danny Katz’s Little Lunch series brings to print the quirky, crazy
adventures Aussie school kids have on a daily basis, in a
beautifully illustrated book that fits right in your uniform
pocket… The Little Lunch series provides you with stories that are
filled with hilarious situations and teach great lessons on
resilience, hard work and friendship along the way.

Highly recommended. The fourth I have read in the wonderful series
of books by Danny Katz and Mitch Vane first published to high
acclaim in 2003 is just as funny and involving as the others, The
school gate, The bubblers and The slide. Set in a school playground
at recess time, the fifteen minutes of respite from the classroom,
the stories are full of drama, adventure and friendship.

The Little Lunch books are a wickedly sparkling series for children
(and their adults) to fall into with hilarity and glee. Cleverly
chaotic words and messy, inky images with line-drawings all
intermingle in the most perfect, unexpected and disgusting
ways.
Highly recommended (except for the squeamish)
*Kids Book Review*
I liked the little lunch stories because they’re always silly,
funny, and they don’t try to teach you a lesson… or do they? These
stories are really short, like recess, and easy to read… I’d
recommend this book to kids who like a joke, a little bit of
grossness, and the ins-and-outs of playground equipment. Oh, and
there’s lots of awesome stuff at the back of the book like jokes,
games, and instructions on how to do tricks on the monkey bars!
