Ronda Armitage and David Armitage, The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch

Scholastic, 9781407103150 | Suggested age range: 6-7

Every day Mr Grinling is out at work making sure that his lighthouse is shining bright across the sea, keeping the ships safe. And, every day, Mrs Grinling cooks him a delicious lunch which she packs in a basket and sends across to the lighthouse on a wire suspended high above the sea. But one day something dreadful happens. Three scavenging seagulls attack the basket and enjoy all the delicious food. How on earth can they be stopped? The details that make a lighthouse keeper's life so different and special give this book an original and fascinating setting. Attempts to outwit the seagulls - whose greedy comments are fun to read in speech bubbles - are hilarious.
