The Biggest Breakfast Reviewed by Dylan, Age 2

Book Review

I really enjoy joining in with the "see you tomorrow!" bit.

Dylan: I really like the book, especially the page that folds out with all the different animals on. I like how many frogs there are but I like the elephants best. I also really enjoy joining in with the “see you tomorrow!” bit.

Mum’s thoughts: It’s a really beautifully illustrated book and Dylan has picked it out to read most days since we got it. I like the repetition as it encourages Dylan to recite and join in with the words. It’s also great introducing him to bigger numbers than 10!

About the Book

One day, a child meets a little bird and feeds it some breakfast. The next day, the little bird comes back with two pink-tailed mice, and the next day they are joined by four squirrels and then eight kind-eyed wolves and then sixteen elephants until eventually, one day, there are 255 animals to feed for breakfast!

But who, wonders the child, will make breakfast for me?!

Turn the pages – and count the creatures! – to find out…
