From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- This clumsy little poem enhanced by glorious illustrations will gather groans, gags, and giggles from young audiences. Lyon's text seems to have been inspired by the phrase "What's for snack? Slugs in a sack." She goes on to try to fill out the day with rhyme and slime. The rhyme in the words "breakfast" and "ketchup" is a bit elusive; "puddle ink" and "drink," or "mud-pie thinner" and "dinner" work better, but what are they really? Young listeners, however, won't mind these textual flaws as they respond enthusiastically to each course. The watercolor paintings are truly marvelous as they depict a multiethnic quartet of boys and girls spending a beautiful day by a pond expanding on mud-pie possibilities. After the full meal at The Outside Inn , the children return home, leaving behind tasty morsels for the wildlife that prefer such stuff. Rosenberry gives creepy crawlies an integrity that is tantalizing if not tasty. Even the endpapers celebrate the beauty of insects, slugs, and worms. While the book is fine as a rousing, reactive read-aloud, quiet time with each illustration is most rewarding. --Jody McCoy, Casady School, Oklahoma City

From Publishers Weekly
This slight, mildly amusing offering from the creators of Together features a freestyle poem about the menu at a "make believe" restaurant by a small woodland pond, where meals " Squirm in your spoon / and wriggle at your chin." There are such delicacies as caterpillar feet, slugs in a sack, ants with ketchup and puddle ink, and all are prepared by an active gang of multi-ethnic children who finally gross out even themselves with a special dessert: worms and dirt. While the brief text may give children a giggle and a shiver or two, the watercolor paintings are rather dreary. Rosenberry's palette is a blend of washed-out grays and browns, and while her crawlie creatures are admirably creepy, her human subjects are stiff, disproportionate and even--in the only closeup of their faces--grotesque. The book may inspire youngsters to come up with their own squirmy snacks, but when it comes to multiple readings, it isn't likely to generate many requests for seconds. Ages 2-6.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Rosenberry, Vera (illustrator). This is the story of the 1st Air Landing Light Regiment RA and its role in the Italian campaign and at the Battle of Arnhem. It is also the story of one of its soldiers: 14283058 Gunner Eric Wright Chrystal, father of the authors. Eric joined the army in September 1942 and, after training, joined the newly formed glider-borne regiment the following year. He first saw action in Italy in 1943, where he was seriously wounded. On 17 September 1944, two years to the day since he enlisted, he and the regiment were landed by glider near to Arnhem in the Netherlands.The authors recount set their father's experiences in context by describing the formation of the unit and the many months of training in England. Their involvement in the Italian campaign, where Eric served with E Troop, 3 Battery, is then recounted, detailing their actions at Rionero, Foggia and Campobasso, where Eric was wounded. It then moves on to describe 1st Air Landing Light Regiment's preparation for and involvement in Operation Market (the Airborne half of Market Garden). This very detailed account of the fighting highlights the regiment's pivotal (but often neglected) role near Arnhem bridge. Here, after nine days of intense combat, Eric was among the many captured and held until the end of the war. The inclusion of Eric's own eyewitness testimony lends a very personal touch to this excellent account of the regiment's experience of combat and life in the PoW camps. Seller Inventory # 00068806492
