New to the ACTF Shop – Little Lunch: Triple the Games

The fifth hilarious book in the series by Danny Katz and Mitch Vane, Little Lunch: Triple the Games is now available in the ACTF Shop. 

Triple the Games contains three new stories based on episodes of the popular children's TV series, Little Lunch – ‘The Walkathon’, ‘The Election’, and ‘The Girls’ Toilets’. These stories are set in the familiar surrounds of an Australian primary school, and are perfect for reluctant readers.

Fans of the Little Lunch books and TV series will also love our Q&A Webinar with author Danny Katz and illustrator Mitch Vane on our YouTube channel. Filmed at the ACTF office, this webinar gave primary students the opportunity to ask Danny and Mitch about their experiences in creating Little Lunch, and how they turned their books into the popular TV series that followed.

We have broken down this YouTube video into individual questions and answers, meaning that teachers can jump straight to the topics which interest their students most. Do you want to know which Little Lunch character Danny Katz relates to most? Or why Mitch Vane loves drawing with pen and ink? Just click on the related questions to hear their answers!
