Lunchroom Lizard by Daniel Kirk 2004
The adventures of Gil the gecko are daring and almost delicious. The children scurry from their classroom to lunch and don’t even notice that Gil has escaped from his cage. He is in hot pursuit of a tasty fly. Will Gil ever capture his lunch or will he become someone else’s?
Every page depicts the drama of the lunchroom, from an argument among classmates; to a child who’s lunch has been swapped. Gil traverses across each page, and is finally found, with a stomach that is still empty.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
