What is The Longest Breakfast about?
Malcolm wakes up to make breakfast for the baby, but before he can get started, Toby arrives with an order. Then come Una, Toto, Alice, Conrad and Ruby, each hungry and ready to choose what is on the menu. As the kitchen fills with people, requests and cheerful chaos, the breakfast grows longer and longer. But while everyone is busy deciding what to eat, who will remember to listen to the baby?
