What's for Lunch? by Transformer Press
"A fun faux children's pop-up book about (yes! more) toxins in our food. Color photocopied from hand-painted and collaged illustrations, with a bouncy poem as text. - Transformer Press
"My tummy is growling. What's for Lunch? Colourful illustrations combine with bouncy rhymes about nasty stuff in our food to make one wonder if having lunch is such a good idea."
"[What's for Lunch? is] sort of a companion piece for 'What's for Dinner?' in that it is also a pop-up book and also about toxins in our food. This one is however, more typical, in that it is made of paper. It is styled like a kids' pop-up book with a bouncy verse about the nasties we are eating. I actually designed it years ago for a contest that Little Simon advertised. Artists were supposed to illustrate, write and do the paper engineering for a pop-up book for 4-8 yr. olds. The winner was to be published, but no one won. I realized that I should take advantage of the fact that I had already done the artwork and pop-up design and just rewrote the text." - Lise Melhorn-Boe
