I really liked this collection of lunch related stories (except for the interactive one. It was my daughter's favorite but I ain't got time for that).
I wasn't sure if these were excerpts from already existing works or originals until I got to the Nathan Hale piece. Definitely original works in this collection (and, of course, Nathan Hale's was my favorite although the Jarrett J. Krosoczka was my next favorite).
It also worked it's magic by getting me interested in reading Lucy and Andy Neanderthal, comics I haven't read but my son has and enjoyed.
Looking forward to Recess!
Also: I love Peanuts so much. I didn't always "get" it as a kid but man I get it now and love it that much more.

Another cute collection of comics by some of the hottest names in kids' comics. This one especially stands out for its inclusion of a choose-your-own-adventure style comic. And I especially liked Nathan Hale's contribution.

A nice intro to many different comics/graphic novel authors. And perfect for those who are already fans.

This was a fun read. My favorites were the girl allergic to nuts, the choose your own panel mystery adventure, the "silly war" potato story, and mini Lunch Lady! :D They were well-told, fun, and/or engaging.

A graphic novel anthology surrounding my favorite meal, LUNCH! Made me remember just how important lunch is to a kid. It's a communal eating time that doesn't involve your parents. It breaks up the day. It's also a source of all kinds of adventure. Not every story grabbed me but the overall idea was great. I can't figure out for the life of me how Jason Shiga's story reads, but I couldn't figure out Meanwhile, either. It might be because I am a boring adult, though. ;) Cute little book from some of the most well-known middle read graphic novelists today.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review. Receiving this book for free has in no way altered my opinion or review.
I will be honest and say it's been a very long time since I read any comics at all. I remember getting the paper as a child and that was the only section I would read. And then in college I started getting the paper just so I could read the comics on Sunday while relaxing. So, I did what I thought would be best and sat down on a Sunday with my big cup of coffee and read through this cute comics!
I will say that it was really fun to see what the authors came up with. From food fights in the cafeteria, to history lessons about the World War II, these little snippets were funny and yet serious. Good lessons taught to all.
I truly enjoyed the Snoopy comic as it brought me back to my childhood.
I will say I had a hard time following The Case of the Missing Science Project. I liked the concept, but the arrows just confused me too much to read it. I think this one might be hard for children to follow, as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading these and I've passed them on to my kids to have fun with.

The Jason Shiga comic was amusing, as it was a lighter version of Meanwhile, but everything else fell flat for me. Especially the Peanuts-branded comic.

Jason Shiga is amazing. His time travel choose your own adventure comics are wonderful.
