I Need A Lunch Box is great for teaching about colors and various environmental elements, such as things related to the ocean, the dessert, and every day materials. It's filled with imaginative illustrations. The story line is nice.

My boys love this book. I had to read it over and over again for my oldest on, and now again with our younger one. The bright colorful pictures catch their eyese. The story told from the point of view of a very young child seemed easily relatable to my little ones. Not onl is it a good book with fantastic pictures, it helps teach the days of the week and colors.

I have no idea what the other reviewer is talking about. This is a good children's book no matter what color your children are.

I am a teacher and sometimes I don't have the books that I require. I was worried when I ordered the book, that it wouldn't be all in one piece. I received this book and it looks like new. Great colors, pages in good condition. And my kids had a great time during the lesson. Thanks.

Doris is shopping for her first grade school supplies. Her parents buy her a new raincoat, pencils, and a lunch box. Her little brother is certain he needs a lunch box just as much as Doris. He dreams about a different lunch box for every day of the week. In the end he gets his lunch box and a hug from his sister. This brightly illustrated book is a simple story about family and sibling rivalry.

Illustrated and written by the same duo that created the award winning book Just us Women, the non-library bound version has an illustration of the Boy, whose story this is, on the front. Apparently Amazon.com does not carry that version. It also has a write-up about the committment of Caines and Cummings to creating books that are role models for black children. That is the copy I purchased.

The 3 rating is based on the fact that, as a reader and storyteller, I prefer imaginative stories.
