This story is about a young lady named Glitter Girl. When her friends come over to ask her to play, her mom tells her she must finish her lunch before she can go out with them. Glitter Girl is distraught because she doesn't want to eat her cheese sandwich. She rests her head only to look up and she her cheese is alive. A hilarious adventure ensues as she tries to capture her slice of cheese as it runs all over town. As a teacher, this book would be a great introduction into personification, or just a fun read aloud.

I am the illustrator of this book. Be sure to keep an eye out for my dog, Bernie, who makes a guest appearance.

Lilly has to finish her lunch before she can go out to play, but what's she to do when the cheese on her sandwich jumps off the table and runs out the cat door? A funny chase through her neighborhood and local grocery store ensues.

Young children especially love the bright colors and big shapes presented in Glitter Girl.

This story is so funny, and while I really don't like that the girl's name is Glitter Girl, I enjoyed the story overall. It is a clever book about a child's imagination. It would be good when teaching about similes, metaphors and personification. It would also be a good start to a creative writing or character lesson. The class could start with a somewhat mundane event and make it interesting.
