I have been anticipating this book for the past year and have spent quite a bit of time contemplating whether I will be Team Lady Pancake or Team Sir French Toast. When the book arrived in the mail, I shrieked with glee and told my son we had a treat for bedtime. That night, I cracked the crisp cover and smoothed my hands over the pages. I was immediately taken by the gorgeous artwork. I could see my son's eyes darting from character to character. He has a short attention span, and this book held his interest from cover to cover. Meanwhile, as he looked at the artwork, I lingered on each page and became enveloped in the comical story. Above all, I was blown away by the engaging writing. The first time I read a picture book, I often stumble over the words. It usually takes a few readings to read a book aloud at a steady pace. But the words and phrases flowed beautifully in this book. I couldn't help but wonder how many times the author revised in order to get the language just right. This book will be a crowd-pleaser in the classroom. I highly recommend it as a read-aloud.
I could tell you about its charming art, clever rhymes, or wonderful humor, but my 5 year old said it best after I read it to her the first time. "Now THAT is a good book." Buy it. you will love it.
Just when good friends Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast think it’s okay to “chill out” with the leftovers, they must heat things up and go head-to-head in order to win the last drop of syrup. Their high-speed chase through the refrigerator is propelled by a steady rhyming rhythm, which further fuels the competition. Today’s busy kids are in competitive situations more than ever. Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast take an ever-important moment to reflect, and realize that cooperation might have served them better. As readers, we are left to soak up the good stuff- the syrup of life- friends… even when someone else beats us to the punch- or in this case, syrup! Double bonus: LP & SFT offers the perfect opportunity to exercise prediction skills through rhyming and plot!
This is a super adorable picture book that will have you craving food. Of all kinds, since Sir French Toast and Lady Pancake take you on a tour of the fridge in their race to get the last drop of maple syrup. Great rhymes, fun illustrations, and a bit of a surprise twist at the end that will give you a smile. I recommend adding this to your child's shelf, as it will soon be a favorite!
Debut author Josh Funk serves us a delectable treat with wonderfully rhymed rollicking read. Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast's race to find the last drop of maple syrup is action-packed and filled with fantastic illustrations. This book is so MUCH fun to read aloud and to listen to. We've been reading this story over and over at my house!
Riveting action book with fantastic artwork with breakfast food favorites! We read to help wake the kids up and get them excited about breakfast, or to calm down at night for a good night sleep! Unlike some other kids books, fun for adults to read and fun for kids to listen or read on their own!
Really cute picture book for kids (both my 3 and 1 y/o boys like it a LOT), we got this copy as a gift for the cousins. Cute rhymes, lots of different foods mentioned and pictured, and great illustrations (with a fold out of the whole fridge at the end). Great twist at the end. Looking forward to more from J. Funk!
What a wonderful, delightful book for children - and for me, too. It makes me want to go back to work In the school library so I could share this book with all of my young patrons of the library. I love this book. It is so unique and just great fun. I will be looking for other books by John Funk to share with my little folks at home. The story is funny and the pictures are very good. I just plain like this book a lot.
