The Biggest Breakfast

The Biggest Breakfast by Richard Jones is a joyful picture book that turns a simple morning meal into a lively counting adventure. With bold, expressive illustrations, count-along fun and shout-along sound words, it’s built for reading aloud—and there’s a brilliant fold-out surprise that ups the chaos in the best way.

A child feeds a little bird some breakfast. The next day the bird returns with friends: two pink-tailed mice. Then four squirrels, eight gentle wolves, sixteen elephants… and the numbers keep climbing until breakfast has become a full-house feast for 247 hungry visitors. As the crowd grows, one question starts to matter: if everyone’s coming for breakfast, who will make breakfast for the child?

Perfect for families after a funny counting book, preschool and early primary readers, and anyone who loves animal stories and interactive picture books.

Open it up, start counting, and see how big breakfast can get.
