This warm, utterly delightful new picture book from Richard Jones includes a fun count-along element, shout-along sound words and a jam-packed fold-out page.

One day, a child meets a little bird and feeds it some breakfast. The next day, the little bird comes back with two pink-tailed mice, and the next day they are joined by four squirrels and then eight kind-eyed wolves and then sixteen elephants until eventually, one day, there are 255 animals to feed for breakfast! 

But who, wonders the child, will make breakfast for me?!

Turn the pages - and count the creatures! - to find out...

About the Author

Richard Jones has been living and working in Devon, England, for more than twenty years. He spent several years working in a busy children’s library, issuing and shelving other artists’ picture books before one day wondering if it wasn’t about time he had a proper go at creating one or two himself! Richard has written and illustrated many picture books, including Wondering Around by Meg Fleming, The Snow Lion by Jim Helmore, Quiet by Tom Percival, and You and I Are Stars and Night by Kate Hosford.
