SA Premier’s Reading Challenge Update
Little Lunch: Triple the Treats is also listed for Year 3-5 students this year. Each book contains three new stories based on the popular children's TV series, Little Lunch. These hilarious stories are perfect for engaging reluctant readers.
Fans of the Little Lunch books will also love our Q&A Webinar with author Danny Katz and illustrator Mitch Vane. This great resource shows primary students asking the pair about their experiences in creating Little Lunch, and how they turned their books into the TV series that followed.
Student questions include: Did you have any teachers who inspired you to be an artist or an author? What age did you start writing and what age were you first published? What other hobbies do you have and do these inspire you for ideas when writing or illustrating?
