Rotating wheels, pull-tabs, flaps, and more make this celebration of breakfast foods a delectable treat. Animated illustrations of berries, bananas, waffles, cinnamon rolls, eggs, toasters, whipped-cream cans, and more (all with happily grinning faces) fill the busy pages, and bouncy rhymes enliven the cheery atmosphere-"What will you drink? / Pour yourself a cup. / Grab something sweet / to butter you up!" The jaunty artwork, bright colors, appealing topic, and lively text are all charming, but the real winner here is the playful, surprising interactive elements, which are sturdy enough to withstand the enthusiasm of book-hungry toddlers.
