The Case of the Stinky Stench
Written by Josh Funk
Illustrated by Brendan Kearney
Publisher’s Synopsis: “Uncle,” Croissant said, “the fridge is in trouble!
A mystery stench turned a whole shelf to rubble!
I’m the last hope or the fridge will be lost!
Help me or else we’ll be cooked, served, and sauced.”
There’s a stinky stench in the fridge–and our favorite foodie friends must solve a smelly mystery! Sir French Toast’s nephew, Inspector Croissant, begs him and Lady Pancake for help in finding the source of the foul odor. Could it be the devious Baron von Waffle? A fetid fish lurking in the bottom of Corn Chowder Lake? Featuring the same delectable wordplay and delicious art that won critical raves for Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast–this fun follow-up is an absolutely tasty treat for kids and adults alike!

Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast
Written by Josh Funk
Illustrated by Brendan Kearney
Publisher’s Synopsis: A thoroughly delicious picture book about the funniest “food fight” ever! Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast have a beautiful friendship—until they discover that there’s ONLY ONE DROP of maple syrup left. Off they go, racing past the Orange Juice Fountain, skiing through Sauerkraut Peak, and reeling down the linguini. But who will enjoy the sweet taste of victory? And could working together be better than tearing each other apart? The action-packed rhyme makes for an adrenaline-filled breakfast . . . even without a drop of coffee!

Sounds like a fun read. Thanks for the post and giveaway.
I have four grandchildren who would adore these books. The other four grandchildren might also but definitely the first four. You had them at “stench.”
My Neice and Nephew would love these.
And would greatly appreciate them.
Thank you, good luck to all
My grandson who is 5 loves to read about food and woke up every day for a year asking, “Pie?” Now he’s into popsicles and things on a stick.
