Soup for Breakfast

 Soup for Breakfast by Calef Brown

Calef Brown uses a pattern during this poem that can be easy to follow. The readers are triggered into imagining what the foods that they are describing taste, look and smell like. 

Along with the illustrations, the poet, Calef, creates a fun atmosphere for the children and let's them know that it's okay to be different and to like and try new things! 

"I like soup for breakfast.

That's the way I am. 

I'm not a fan of toast and jam, 

or griddle-cakes with egg and ham, 

or even Cream of Wheat.

A bowl of cream and Broccoli, 

now there's a morning treat."
