Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You

The Book

This board book has enjoyable cadence of rhyme and bright, colourful, kid-friendly illustrations that are delightful. A little boy's tummy is rumbling so he and his beloved cat quietly tiptoe downstairs, as not to wake up the rest of family, and fixes his own breakfast to solve his hunger problem all on his own.  The story is simple and relatable.  I was happy to discover that it wasn't the typical "oh look at the mess he made" theme but one where a little guy shows care and respect by not disturbing his family member's slumber and responsibly getting together his breakfast.  I also love how he includes his cat and shares his meal with him.  I highly recommend this book.
