What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A lunch box comprising:
 a fabric pouch providing a plush outer surface with a closable opening on an upper side, the fabric pouch presenting outwardly visible facial features and at least two outwardly extending appendages attached to the fabric pouch;   an insulating liner positioned on the inner surface of the fabric pouch and surrounding a volume sized to receive lunch items through the opening to be retained within the insulating liner when the opening is closed; and   the fabric pouch providing a handle extending upwardly near the opening to support the volume pendant thereunder.   
     
     
         2 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  wherein the facial features depict an animal. 
     
     
         3 . The lunchbox of  claim 2  wherein the fabric pouch presents four outwardly extending appendages including the legs. 
     
     
         4 . The lunchbox of  claim 2  further including the facial features of two eyes and a stuffed muzzle portion positioned at a front surface of the fabric pouch, the muzzle portion depicting a nose and mouth. 
     
     
         5 . The lunchbox of  claim 2  wherein the opening is in an upper portion of a head of the animal as depicted. 
     
     
         6 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  wherein the volume is retained by a stiffness of the lunchbox in the absence of contained lunch items. 
     
     
         7 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  wherein the stiffness is provided by a shape retaining seam between a bottom wall and side wall of the insulating liner. 
     
     
         8 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  further including a polyester batting material between the insulating liner and fabric pouch. 
     
     
         9 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  wherein the insulating liner provides a metallized material for heat reflection. 
     
     
         10 . The lunchbox of  claim 1  wherein the opening may be retained in a closed state by a hook and loop fastener.
