Little Lunch: The Off-limits Fence
Three highly illustrated, hilarious stories about a group of kids and their adventures during the fifteen minutes of Little Lunch.
At Little Lunch we played Chinese whispers, Melanie ran an INSECT HOSPITAL and Rory kicked his football over the off-limits fence. What else can happen in fifteen minutes?

This is great book that is sure to encourage younger and middle level readers.

The Off-Limits Fence is hilarious! Each story is entirely believable while being totally wild. It’s as if Katz and Vane peeked through a hole in a fence at a primary school. Every teacher, every parent, everyone who has ever had a chance to observe children at play will recognise the truth of these stories.
