Title: Lady Pancake &Sir French Toast
Author: Josh Funk
Illustrator: Brendan Kearney
Publisher: Sterling Books, 2015
For ages 4 and up
Book Description:
A thoroughly delicious picture book about the funniest "food fight!" ever! Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast have a beautiful friendship—until they discover that there's ONLY ONE DROP of maple syrup left. Off they go, racing past the Orange Juice Fountain, skiing through Sauerkraut Peak, and reeling down the linguini. But who will enjoy the sweet taste of victory? And could working together be better than tearing each other apart? The action-packed rhyme makes for an adrenaline-filled breakfast . . . even without a drop of coffee!
Themes: Food, Competition, Friendship, Sharing, Books in Rhyme
Opening Lines:
"Deep in the fridge and behind the green peas,
way past the tofu and left of the cheese,
Up in the corner, and back by a roast,
sat Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast."
Why I believe you will like this book:
This book takes Food Wars to a whole different place.
Have you ever wanted something so badly and there was only one available? Add to that your best friend said they wanted that something too. Did you give in? Did you let your bestie have it?
No?
I didn't think so. You look like the kind of person who loves a race, some competition, and winning.
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are that kind of friends. Join them in the race the the last drop of syrup. You will rhymingly (I just made that word up) travel through the fridge where all the food comes to life.
But wait, there's more! You will discover what word Josh rhymes with linguini, and figure out the meaning of some challenging words.
Who do you think will win? What will the winner do?
Once the race is over, be sure to take some time looking at the fun illustrations.

I love to slice up an apple sprinkle it with cinnamon and ginger powder and fry it up until the apple slices are soft and browned. You can cook them in coconut oil or in butter. Right before they are done, I sprinkle in some of my favorite nuts and toast them up to add some extra flavor. Maybe even add some dried blueberries, cranberries or cherries to the mix. Makes a great topping especially if you only have a drop of syrup in the fridge. YUM!
