Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast & it's sequel
Very creative! There is only one drop of syrup left in the refrigerator and Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are on a race to get it. Miss Brie just informed the leftover friends and now the two of them will be pushing, shoving, rolling, falling and hurdling over items to get that last drop. Watch out linguini, you tall bottles of salad dressings and all you beans, these two are not stopping until they reach that syrup bottle. Chili Lagoon, Broccoli Forest, Orange Juice Fountain may slow them down but these two will clean themselves off and hit the road again. Who will be the winner and was this race worth the fight?
I thought this novel was fun and creative. I could actually visualize the events occurring in the novel as the twosome battled through the refrigerator towards the syrup bottle. Once they arrived at their prize (syrup bottle), I liked how things were settled and how the book ended. The bonus map which flips down on the back page, so it is a vertical illustration of the inside of their refrigerator, was the icing on cake. What a fantastic novel. 5 stars
It's sequel:
The Case of the Stinky Stench
This is a cute sequel to Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. I enjoyed the rhyming text as it kept the story moving forward as Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast help investigate the strange stench that is troubling the fridge. Interrupting their vacation, Sir French Toast's nephew Inspector Croissant informs the vacationers that something is causing a horrible smell that needs to be investigated and eliminated before everything is lost. Immediately they know who is behind the odor but when they find their suspect, they find out they were wrong. They try again with other clues and it is the determination of Inspector Croissant that helps solve this mystery and saves the fridge elimination.
It's a cute story with colorful and bright illustrations. I enjoyed the fun and quirky names of the items in the refrigerator (Mount Everbean, Onion Ring Cave, Miss Steak, Corn Chowder Lake, etc). It's a creative and imaginative children's book that's fun to read. 4 stars
