Description
The baby wants breakfast so Malcolm gets out of bed to get started. Then in comes Toby. And Una and Toto, then Alice-they're hungry too. And Conrad from next door and his sister Ruby! Everyone has a request for breakfast. But who is taking notice of the baby? The Longest Breakfast is a fun family story full of comings and goings with a lovely baby at the centre.

Reviews"This extremely lovely picture book lends itself to tonnes of re-readings, and there is more to think about each time" -- The Spinoff "The story rolls back and forth like a good natured tug-of-war with the ever-increasing cast of characters and general chaos of a busy family home." -- Magpies Magazine "This is an inclusive, witty and warm picture book to delight any reader, that we consider should become a favourite choice in the bedtime reading selection." -- Bookwagon
