Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
What advice do ring-tailed lemurs get before a luncheon visit with a revered aunt? "Don't eat too much, be sure to sit with your tails straight at the table, and. . . make sure you are home before it gets dark." Though her two older brothers acquit themselves admirably, little Jemima eats too much, curls her tail and gets lost on the way home. With its unique and captivating cast, Clark's ( The Queen's Goat ) jungle contains abundant humor, a bit of fright and a happy ending. Jemima's rescue by 11 fruit bats is a particularly triumphant moment, while the ukelele-strumming Augusta, resplendent in purple picture hat and matching beads, is a daffy dowager to be reckoned with. Teeming with vivid jungle flora, the playful artwork calls to mind a cartoony Rousseau. This larky lunch is a fun-filled repast indeed. Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- When Jemima, the youngest of three ring-tailed lemur siblings, eats far too much at her Aunt Augusta's, she can't keep up with her brothers on the way home and falls to the floor of the dark jungle. A clan of kindly fruit bats rescues the frightened little lemur and flies her home on a leaf, where she and her brothers are sent to bed without supper. Full-color, well-placed watercolors using flat forms depict a lush setting with many amenities. Lunch is served in glass and on chinaware; the lemurs dwell in cozy gazebolike homes high atop the jungle and wear bows or jewelry. These incongruities create the humor in this rather long, predictable story. --Maria B. Salvadore, District of Columbia Public Library
