Descripción editorial
Join a little boy searching the farm for his breakfast one fine morning in this charming picture book from bestselling author Mem Fox and award-winning illustrator Christine Davenier.
Early one morning, a little boy sets out to find something for his breakfast. He searches the farm for it. Could it be by the gate? In the truck? In the haystack? Little ones will delight in seeing barnyard animals and guessing what it is the little boy is searching for until he finally finds it and settles in for a delicious breakfast with his grandmother.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's morning on the farm, and a copper-haired, pale-skinned boy in bright blue overalls leaves his house "in search of a couple of things for his breakfast." A white hen with a bright red comb and wattle is shocked when the boy takes his quest beyond the farmhouse gate, and no wonder: close observers of the book's opening spread will see that the henhouse is within its boundary. With the hen at his heels, it becomes clear that while the boy will retrieve two eggs eventually, he's going to first make a roundabout, Family Circus style loop to check out his farm faves: the green pickup, the red tractor, the haystack, and friendly farm animals. Fox (Roly Poly) notes each stop ("He came to a haystack") and confirms that it doesn't have what he seeks ("but haystacks don't lay them"). Davenier (Emily Writes) chronicles this confident perambulation with luscious watercolor hues and paint strokes: readers can sense the fragrant hay and the velvetiness of the big brown cow. Getting there isn't just half the fun in this pleasing farm ramble it's all of it. Ages 4 8.
