At breakfast, your character announces that the floor is lava. The kitchen takes this personally. Tiles begin to glow, and an ordinary game becomes a scramble to get off the floor. Three cushions offer a route across; a broom offers reach, if not much reassurance. Then the next safe landing is too far away, and the breakfast escape requires an actual plan.

For you if breakfast could use a ridiculous burst of adventure.

What is inside this book?

These twelve pages turn a kitchen into an obstacle course, moving from a breakfast announcement to glowing tiles and an awkward route across cushions. You read one or two short sentences per page. Bright illustrations with bold outlines make the household objects central to the action, especially the three cushions and the broom.

Who is this one for?

Choose this if you like everyday nonsense that suddenly demands serious planning. Someone you know who enjoys improvised escapes, physical comedy, or games taken literally may find the kitchen predicament especially appealing. It fits a lively breakfast read or an afternoon when you want a burst of ridiculous urgency.

The Floor Is Actually Lava is a personalized illustrated storybook of twelve pages about a breakfast game becoming a kitchen escape.
