This book is a great picture book for children who can be amazed simply by three deminsion pictures if you have the special glasses you need. The story is about about a kid who just switched schools and is having a rough time being the new kid at his new school. He is looking forward to his favorite time of the school day. This time happens to be lunch, but the new school's lunch isn't exactly what he has expected. The lunch is disgusting and to add to his troubles he slips on some of the slime on the floor walking to his lunch table. After he is done in the cafeteria he is so disgusted by his surroundings he hurls it all out. He claims to have learned a valuable lesson by the end of the book... bring a lunch from home.

This disturbing, misinformed book paints a frightening picture to students and adults about the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. The moral of this book is that school food is disgusting and the cafeteria is only a source of fear.

These are indeed harmful, disturbing messages in a country where 60% of enrolled students choose to participate in the USDA National School Lunch Program. The president of ASFSA, Martha Hill, notes in her letter sent to the CEO of Golden Books (Richard Snyder) that school food service professionals are friendly, caring people who are truly concerned about children. In our Tucson District, managers not only serve nutritious, tasty food, but also are charged with Nutrition Education of all the students. This program is not only extremely important, but also very popular with students, teachers, and administrators. School meals are healthier than ever, and healthy, nourished children, we all know, learn better.
