With a fantastically delicious dive into the world hidden in the depths of a fridge, Inspector Croissant teams up with Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast to embark on a delightful, somewhat quirky but always mysterious adventure.
Something stinks, and Inspector Croissant is determined to figure out what it is. With the help of Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast, he heads across Marshmallow Coast and over Mount Everbean to seek out the potential culprit and not-so-trustworthy Baron Von Waffle. And it's only the beginning of the jaunt through cuisine.
This is one packed adventure and that in only 40 pages and without intimidating amounts of text. Through silly rhymes, which flow smoother than Applesauce River, the three characters travel over a world delicious enough to make any reader's eyes sparkle and stomach tingle for glee. The wording is clever and every word sits. Even the occasional sprinkle of tougher vocabulary lands like droplets of sugar on the tongue.
The illustrations overflow with color and fantasy, luring in and guaranteeing hours of visits to search out details and discover overlooked surprises again and again. The characters remind a bit of Sponge Bob and invite with their easy mannerisms to join in through even more dangerous places such as Corn Chowder Lake as the real culprit is sought out.
Among the mystery and whimsical travels through donuts and cheese, there's also a warm-hearted good deed to make the ending close with a guaranteed smile and promise of sweet dreams. And for little explores whose curiosity knows no bounds, there's an explores map at the end to help guide any visitors ages three and up through the wonders of this bright and scrumptious land.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and loved this book so much that I had to leave my honest thoughts and opinions.

In a fun sequel, Josh Funk takes his reader back in to the fridge to imagine what the food does there when the door closes. Instead of a competition, this time Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast team up with a nephew (Inspector Croissant) to solve a food mystery. They travel through the fridge, following clues across Salsa Ravine, around Mount Everbean, over Applesauce River to Corn Chowder Lake.. With a witty rhyme , a quintessential red herring, and a message of cooperation, this book is a definite winner. With such a lively band of characters, this book invites multiple reads to catch the many jokes and to solve the stinky mystery. Kirkus Reviews declared it " this is a recipe worth keeping.”
