The Worst Breakfast by China Miéville
2.0
I love China Miéville, but was disappointed with this picture book. Maybe I just like his novels.
This is the tale of two sisters recounting the worst breakfast they ever had. Things start out mundane, like burnt toast but quickly devolve into lists of things like vegemite, barm cakes, forcemeat, and muktuk - things that many students/young readers will not even be able to identify.
Illustrations are kind of cubist-modern, colors felt a bit drab. They did not enhance the text for me. However, the sisters are not white!! They are super cute brown girls. <3
