Little Lunch: The Old Climbing Tree
Highly and hilariously illustrated, three stories of the antics and adventures that kids can get up to in the 15 minutes that is “Little Lunch”!
At Little Lunch we squeezed between the portable classroom and the fence, Battie fell off the old climbing tree and Melanie counted EVERYTHING. What else can happen in fifteen minutes?

Danny Katz is the author of many books for kids and adults, including Spit the Dummy, S.C.U.M, The Poppa Platoon and the Little Lunch series. Danny was born in Canada and moved to Australia when he was a kid because he was allergic to maple syrup. After failed careers as a musician, comedian and car-washer, he turned to writing and became a columnist for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. He is best known as the Modern Guru in the Good Weekend magazine. Danny lives in Melbourne with his wife Mitch Vane, a speckled dog named Specky, and a badly-washed car.
Mitch Vane is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Melbourne. She divides her time between illustrating children’s books and developing art projects of her own. Mitch loves creating quirky, humorous characters with watercolour and her scratchy dip pen and her distinctive, energetic style can be seen in the wide variety of children’s books she has illustrated. Along with the many talented authors she has worked with, Mitch often collaborates with humour columnist Danny Katz. Together they created the much-loved Little Lunch series which has been successfully adapted as a 28 episode TV show currently available on Netflix.
