Short & Sweet Long & Savory Tour

 

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.

To get a taste of the tale, you can watch the musical trailer here:

Now for a short and sweet introduction to the author. I first met Josh a few years ago at Nerdcamp in Michigan. I appreciated his stories, but also the work he's done to encourage and support picture book creators. If you're thinking about writing a picture book, I suggest you pop over to his resource page. Here's a little more info about Josh.
