A gorgeous and hilarious picture book about the most unusual breakfast two sisters ever ate.Two sisters sit down for breakfast, and one remembers a really gross breakfast they once had, and reminds her sister about it. But her little sister doesn't remember. So then she starts describing all of the really gross things that were in the worst breakfast they ever had, until all they can picture is a table piled sky high with the weirdest, yuckiest, grossest, slimiest, slickest, stinkiest breakfast two kids can ever have. And then they have a really good breakfast.China Mieville is the author of numerous books, including "The City & The City, Embassytown, Railsea," and "Perdido Street Station."

Oh Lord. Better lock up all the responsible adults before you get settled, because China Mieville has written a kids' book, and I've got an advance copy!

CherylDeFranceschi It's fantastic, too. 8y
Readaholics Does it rhyme all the way through? If so, I'm sold! 8y

Yossarian @Readaholics It rhymes intermittently throughout, so there is rhyming on almost every page, but without a consistent rhyme scheme. 8y
BookishFeminist What is even happening in this picture 8y
Yossarian @BookishFeminist I believe a reptile/Gremlin is pouring batter of an octopus/Kraken. 8y
BookishFeminist @Yossarian is he also taking an epic pee at the same time? Because that is what it looks like 🙈 8y
Yossarian @BookishFeminist I'm guessing he's inside a runny egg yolk, but I think this one will benefit from repeated readings to catch all of the visual subplots. 8y
BookishFeminist @Yossarian I look forward to your thoughts on its subplots because from this picture, there will be many. ðŸ‘🼠8y
meggofrank What?! This is excellent news for all my friends' kids. And me. 8y

A children's book by China? Yes, please! Gorgeous illustrations and fabulous silliness from China. I'm going to buy a giant stack of these when it lays down, and I'm going pass them out to all the kidlets.
