The Worst Breakfast - Hardcover

by China Mi?ville (Author), Zak Smith (Illustrator)

--Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2016

"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." --San Francisco Book Review

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.
