While his moms and his sister are still asleep, the boy makes breakfast for himself and the cat.

The illustrations in this board book frighten me – I know the boy is trying to smile, but his giant eyes come off as angry. And since this is a board book, are you encouraging your 2yo to make their own breakfast? Clean-up in the kitchen, please.
