Have you met Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast? How about Baron von Waffle or Professor Biscotti? If you haven't had the opportunity to meet them yet, you will want to do so soon. Books featuring food are some of my favorites. Mostly because it gives me just the excuse I need to make something yummy.
Short & Sweet is the 4th book in the Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series. In this delightful kitchen adventure, Professor Biscotti transforms the two sweet breakfast treats into toddlers. Yikes!
The story is a great romp through entertaining locations such as the Fjords of Farfalle and the Pasta Playground. Along the way there are many fun details to discover within the illustrations.

The Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast books are some of my favorite. The vocabulary in each of them is why I adore picture books. It truly does open up a whole world to young readers--food, emotions, etc. The little nuances that adults can pick up on...those are great too. Like:
Bran Canyons (play on Bryce Canyon)
Limes Square (Yeah, Times Square)
Juice Springsteen (you know, the Boss)
Stacks of books with titles like Don't Let the Pecan Drive the Bus, Wolfie the Gummy, Make Way for Duck Sauce, Mushroom on the Broom.....(I dare you not to laugh)
I cannot recommend these books enough!

I'll be honest, I thought they were racing to be chosen to be eaten, not who would get to eat the syrup...which made me feel conflicted. It is a children's book after all. Alas, the rhyming is cute, I love that all the foods have faces and varying facial expressions. Plus, who doesn't want to root for pancakes and French toast?
