(3) K-3 Elephant Ernest and bear Frank help out at a diner. The book is primarily a showcase for diner slang: "a stack with Vermont" is pancakes with syrup, "a nervous pudding" is Jell-O, etc. Day's mock-dignified illustrations, lush and attractive, add dimension to the entertaining story. A diner glossary is included to aid comprehension.
