A Morning with Blueburry

About this book

A Morning with Blueburry is a laugh-out-loud picture book about a determined little muffin, one giant bowl of icing, and the power of not giving up. Blueburry has big ideas and an even bigger appetite. When he spots the yummiest bowl of icing way across the kitchen, it looks "one thousand muffin-meters" away. Reaching it means facing wobbly balloons, soggy spaghetti ropes, and slingshots that launch him in all the wrong directions. Each attempt ends with a splat, but with a little encouragement from his countertop friends, Blueburry hikes up his muffin liner and tries one more time.
