The Worst Breakfast
ByPublisher Description
Two sisters sit down one morning and begin 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, slimiest, slickest, stinkiest breakfast possible. And then they have the best breakfast ever . . . almost.
"This is a child's imagination come to life, where a good thing can be the greatest thing in existence and a minor inconvenience snowballs into the most horrendous, atrocious, appalling, not good, very bad meal you've ever had." —
"Miéville and Smith's dialogue is fantastic: witty, smart, with great rhythm that doesn't sacrifice artful turns of phrase to reach for an internal rhyme . . . A brilliant, original, infinitely rereadable book that can sit alongside Sendak and Dahl." —
(starred review)
"Miéville lets it rip in this stomping, howling rant about a bad meal of legendary proportions." —
"Imaginative and fun,
is perfect for any picky eater out there. A rhyming scheme and inventive text kept up the giggles and the pace." —
"Deftly written by the exceptionally talented China Miéville and shockingly but gifted illustrated by Zak Smith,
is a unique picture book that will be enduringly popular . . . Very highly recommended." —
