(3) K-3 Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series. Illustrated by Brendan Kearney. In Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast's third outing, they and their fellow fridge denizens--a cartoony collection of refrigerator mainstays--find their home unusually frosty. With the help of Baron von Waffle, the brunch-basics duo foils Empress Asparagus. The story is driven by humorous, detailed illustrations and rhymes and punning wordplay ("We've caught you bread-handed") that couldn't be--wait for it--crisper.
