by Conrad J. Storad, Beth Neely
Roadrunners are speedy, fearless, and when they do take time out from ruling the desert scrublands and meadows they call home, they enjoy a tasty snack of...lizards? It's true! The aptly titled Lizards for Lunch: A Roadrunner's Tale provides you, the reader, with a glimpse of the world as it is known to the speedy roadrunner. Far from the cartoon character many people are familiar with, the life and habits (eating and otherwise) of the roadrunner are accurately depicted in this book through a witty rhyme and fantastically vibrant illustrations. You will see something new each time you adventure into this book and the roadrunner's world. And you will gain an appreciation for not having the uncertain life of a lizard, or as the roadrunner would see you--as lunch!
