The Runaway Dinner

By Allan Ahlberg

Illustrated by Bruce Ingman

The chase is on but who's the winner – a hungry boy or his runaway dinner?

Banjo is about to tuck into his sausage when it jumps right up off the plate and runs away! But the sausage – whose name is Melvin – isn't alone. He's followed by the fork, the knife, the table, the French fries and even the peas. And so the chase begins... Will Banjo ever catch up with his runaway dinner?
