On the bittersweet occasion of our last Picture Books of the Week we wanted to share a book filled with giggles, with joy and of course with our favourite subject - yummy scrummy food!

"Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast: Short and Sweet" is the fourth book in the series from awesome creatives Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney, and this time the two heroes aren't quite feeling themselves.

In fact, with a bit of foodie magic Lady and Frenchy have been transformed into mere shadows of their former selves, turning back into the cutest pair of kids you've ever seen this side of the fridge door.

Professor Biscotti's nutty invention must be reversed but the two toddler treats are petrified of the now gigantic Baron Von Waffle. How on earth can Prof and Baron lure the two out of capering around and hiding, restoring them to adulthood?

Oh no, what can be done to restore our heroes to greatness?

There's a ton of brilliant and inventive stuff in this new adventure, bouncing along with Josh's trademark mighty fine rhymin' style, and Brendan's tummy-rumblingly brilliant illustrations!

Behold! The cutest pair of treats you ever did see!

This series has gone from strength to strength, and kids just can't resist any tale where they get to live a mischievous vicarious capering chase through familiar surroundings - I mean who wouldn't want to go on a grand adventure through their larder or fridge?

You have a bit of a wait on your hands for this one as it's not going to be hitting shelves until November, but we wanted to shout about Josh and Brendan's fab book before we retire so a big salute and hats off to Lady P and Sir FT!

Sum this book up in a sentence: Possibly the best adventure for Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast yer, transformed into naughty mischievous toddlers by a mad professor, leading us on an energetic bouncing rhyming caper par excellence!

"Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast: Short and Sweet" (Book 4) by Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney is out on 28th November 2020, published by Sterling (kindly sent as a digital ARC to review). 

Our tummies are rumbling in anticipation of another grand food-based adventure with Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast.

In "Mission Defrostable" by Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney, the dynamic comestible duo are back for an adventure that will give you the chills.

Something is wrong, very wrong in the fridge.

Everything is encrusted with ice, and even Sir French Toast's moustache has ice crystals in it, let alone Lady Pancake's hair.

It's time to embark on a mission to find out what's gone wrong, and why their world is slowly being wrapped in a blanket of ice.

Enlisting the help of an unlikely ally, and with the aid of the shady (literally, she wears shades!) Agent Asparagus, it's a mystery ready to unwrap for our heroes.

Brrr! It's cold in the fridge! Colder than usual!

The story unfolds in fun to read rhyming text from Josh, with Brendan's tummy-rumblingly great illustrations of a vast food-populated world nestling in your icebox.

Who is this mysterious character? No it's not Britney Spears, but Agent Asparagus!

When the two finally track down their ultimate foe, there's a huge twist in the tale - which we won't ruin for you of course.

C really loved me reading this book aloud to her, mostly because it's a beautifully flowing rhyming story that has plenty of chuckles and surprises along the way.

Delicious!
