As of today, my kids are back in school. And since it’s back to school time I thought it might be fun to show you some of the books I’ve been excited about lately and we’ll turn it into another giveaway. Here’s how it works: I’ll post about 5 books this week. You can comment on every post for 5 entries or just one post for 1 entry. Let me know what you think of the books, if you’ve read them or if you’ve wanted to read them. At the end of the week I’ll pick one winner out of ALL the comments and they can choose which book they’d like and I’ll have it sent to you.
My first book is by the amazing Mark Northeast called Funky Lunch. I first heard about this book six months ago and I’ve been waiting for it to come out ever since (it will be available in the states in September). From the pictures in the Funky Lunch gallery, I’m sure it won’t disappoint. His work is pure genius. Maybe I can surprise my kids with one of these cool sandwiches in their lunch…
Leave a comment if you’d like to enter and I’ll pick one winner at the end of this week.

Well, that’s about the cutest thing ever. I’m going to have to look at that – I don’t have kids yet, but I bet my husband wouldn’t mind if I made his sandwich look like a giraffe. In fact, I’d probably get the wife of the year award.
Oh my goodness, those are adorable. I’m sure I could get some adults to eat food they don’t like if it was dressed up like little animals.
I think my kids would be keen on this as a DIY book for them
The older two make their own lunches… even if they didn’t do ‘FUNky lunches’ every day but once school day a week, or weekends, friends over/parties… never hurts to add a little something fun to the day! Thanks for hosting the giveaway 
Love it!
What a great lunch idea. I would love to do this for my kids. But only if it takes 5 minutes and you can make it while holding a baby
Oooooooh, I would LOVE this book!!! Such a fun giveaway!!
So fun!
Are you serious? My kids might just eat a sandwich if I created them like this. One can hope!
This book looks fantastic and might just help me to entice my kids to eat sandwiches! One can hope.
I think if I win this book, my daughter will think she’s died and gone to heaven!
