The Biggest Breakfast
Herein we meet a little child who starts off by feeding just one bird. The following morning the same bird is back waiting for breakfast accompanied by two mice. The child feeds all three: ‘See you tomorrow!’ says the child, after they’ve eaten everything. And so it continues with four squirrels, eight wolves (kind-eyed ones), sixteen elephants – a veritable herd. After this what should be waiting for breakfast in addition to the previous animals but thirty-two ring-tailed lemurs, sixty-four puffins and one hundred and twenty eight round-bellied frogs. What a lot of noise they made – two hundred and fifty-five animals all together – as they consumed their food. After all this the child is exceedingly tired and decides to stay in bed. Sitting there exhausted the child now wonders who will make their own breakfast. There comes a knock at the front door. Who and what do you think awaits?
What a mouth-watering and extremely heart-warming surprise the little human receives.
Young children will love the gatefold spread with a veritable zoo full of hungry animals that await the kind-hearted breakfast giver. They’ll relish too, copying the sounds the creatures make as they eat, and joining in with the repeat refrain, ‘See you tomorrow’. Yes, there’s lots of maths potential in this but most importantly it’s a delightfully illustrated, funny feast of a book.
