Billy the Goat's Big Breakfast

32 pp. | Kane/Miller | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61067-190-3 $12.99
(4) K-3 Nat (Nat the Cat's Sunny Smile) invites Billy Goat and Hugo Hare for breakfast. Billy arrives early, drinks all the juice, and makes himself sick by eating some half-risen bread. Learning patience, helping friends, and admitting mistakes are worthy lessons, but the rhyming tale is saccharine and a few Britishisms may be confusing (e.g., "lay the table"). The oversize illustrations add energy.
