Thank you, Union Square Kids, for the advance reading copy.
The illustrations are fun and amazing. It's a great story but I feel it will be a bit difficult for the young readers to understand.
The story reminds me of Animal Farm by George Orwell so much. I feel this is one of those storybooks which needs explanation and a little patience.

I read Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast years ago and loved! I had no clue there were more until I saw this one. This series continues to be delightful. In this book, the duo team up with some friends to find out where the Great Light from the fridge has gone. Such a cute series!
I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast try to solve the mystery of a disappearing fridge light. I appreciated all the food puns, and the story about belonging, but I'm very confused by the fridge organization. Can someone please explain to me why there are pancakes and French toast in the fridge? Why do they have hair/toppings (they'll get soggy that way!) Why are none of the foods packaged? Why is the light always on in this fridge? Why am I having a breakdown over a children's book not being realistic? It's a mystery I'd like the pair to solve! Overall, it's really fun if you are able to suspend your disbelief a bit and just really enjoy those puns. The illustrations are so cute and funny.

Did you ever wonder what the food in your refrigerator does when the door is shut? No? Ask your preschooler and you’ll find all the answers in this imaginative tale.
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast awake to discover that the refrigerator is dark. The light is off. In fact, the light has been taken by Count Caper to use in his Las Veggies (humor for the adult readers) display. What follows is an investigation carried out by united fruits and vegetables followed by a satisfying conclusion.
You’ll love the illustrations, especially the animal crackers. The rhyming verse flows, is well written and not at all forced. Lessons about love and friendship are also part of this humorous tale. 5 stars.

The fifth addition to the Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast tales did not disappoint! Imagine a fridge where the lights go out and characters have to figure out who did it and devise a plan to get the fridge bright again. The personalities come alive in this book as we meet the Great Caper Caper, who many readers can identify with. Themes of inclusion, facing challenges, and friendship are weaved throughout! Kudos to Josh on a fun story for any age!

I usually review middle grade fiction and nonfiction, and occasionally picture books for Young Adult Books Central, but Mr. Funk's books are so much fun that I was very pleased to be asked to participate in the blog tour for his newest picture book. Just keep in mind that I have the mindset of a 12-year-old for most literature!
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast wake up in their refrigerator home to discover that the lightbulb that usually illuminates their world is gone and they have been plunged into darkness! In the distance, however, they see a faint glow, and upon investigation discover that the bulb is being used in a far corner to light only Las Veggies, run by the marginally evil Count Caper. He denies having stolen it, and his veggie goons eject our heroes. Not ones to stew, they leap from the frying pan into the fire and round up their friends to help formulate a plan to keep the lights on. Inspector Croissant, Professor Biscotti, Miss Brie and others assemble to cook up a plan to infiltrate Count Caper's Tower and retrieve the light bulb with the help of a packet of animal crackers. Will they be able to understand Count Caper's motivation and convince him to shine his light on the entire refrigerator?
Told in Funk's solid rhyming style, the story moves at a brisk clip and reminded me strongly of David Kirk's 1992 Miss Spider's Tea Party, which I read approximately 4,000 times when my children were little. The meter helped propel the story forward and added a sense of urgency to the quest. I enjoyed the fact that the rhyming included more complex words; dismay, sneer, barge, and even grandiose are used. I'm convinced that using these words in picture books help toddlers build impressive vocabularies, and they also make the books a bit more fun for adults to read multiple times! There's even a nice message about the power of friendship.
Kearney's illustrations are rich with detail; every pickle in a jar has a face, and the expressions on the animal crackers' visages are delightful. Young readers will be able to spend hours identifying the items in the refrigerator, and might even want to recreate scenes if they have play kitchens with plastic food. There's such scope for the imagination here, and had my children read these, there would have definitely been some Halloween costumes based on the characters. Quilt batting would make great whipped cream hair.
Such a wide assortment of vegetables are used, and this would be a great spring board for introducing them to young readers' diets, although as a parent you have to be somewhat comfortable with cannabalism. "Open wide! Here comes Asparagus! I took off his glasses and jacket. No, don't cry. It's not really Sir French Toast's friend." On second thought, there might be a lot of back story about the nonsentient versions of the vegetables necessary before making this leap.
This fifth installment doesn't disappoint, but I do have a LOT of questions. Is the refrigerator open? Is the light really on all the time inside a refrigerator? How could we even tell? Is Count Caper's Las Veggies in the vegetable crisper, which is why the main part of the unit is dark? How dark IS it inside a refrigerator? Where is Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast's apartment? The butter compartment on the door? And how is there a window? And a tiny flashlight? You might laugh, but I would have spent hours discussing this sort of thing with my children. Any book that appeals to both children and adults alike is worth investigating, even if you can't find a packet of animal crackers to help you. (And does anyone keep these in the fridge? Hmmm!)

THE GREAT CAPER CAPER is a lovely picture book and a perfect gift for a child who loves mysteries and humor. Josh Funk is a pen master of "the pun" and uses them throughout the book, which will make for an enjoyable read for parents as well as their children. He does a marvelous job on his rhyme and cadence. If you're a picture book writer this would be a great example to study if you're deciding to write a lyrical picture book. None of the rhymes or lines felt forced and it was easy to read. This is awesome because I've had my fair share of books I struggled reading to my sons because the rhythm was off or a word just didn't fit.
Besides the written story, the illustrator Brendon Kearney brilliantly captured Sir French Toast, Lady Pancake, and the rest of the food cast of characters. My favorite character was the villain, which is a caper. Kearney has an organic feel to his drawings and they reminded me of a cross between Jon Klassen's I WANT MY HAT BACK and THE BAD GUYS series by Aaron Blabey.
All-in-all, I give THE GREAT CAPER CAPER 5 stars and highly recommend this book as a Christmas, Birthday, or Babyshower gift. Teachers and school librarians should also include this fun book in their collection since it will appeal to boys and girls as well as offer a wide vocabulary of food words and how to overcome fears, such as being afraid of the dark.

This is a great new picture book! It tells the story of Mr. French Toast and Mrs. Pancake who are startled to realize that the refrigerator light has been stolen! They accuse Count Caper of Las Veggies and come up with a scheme to ensure this light gets back to where it belongs. Fun with veggies and foods in multiple food groups is a huge part of the appeal in this book. Additionally, the rhyming nature makes it fairly easy for young readers to read with independence. The pictures are beautiful and I definitely think that will draw kids in. I also love that foods like passion fruit, tofu and capers are mentioned because sometimes young children have had limited access to more uncommon foods. This might encourage them to try some new foods.
As a grade 3 teacher I would absolutely purchase a copy of this book for my classroom library. I think it would be great as an introduction to lessons on food groups too! I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 4-9 range. Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this awesome book!

And it all started off when the "Animal Crackers caused quite the commotion"...
Adorable, whimsical food characters like I have never seen before. So cute you could eat them right off the floor! This tale follows the adventures of Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast, and the authors and illustrators have EVERY reason to boast. The light in the refrigerator has suddenly gone missing and the rest of the food in the frig is upset and hissing. So, the team goes on a quest to save the day, and the rest of story is much more than I can say.
Pay close attention to the pictures and the food, the illustrators have captured each character's 'tude. Can you find my favorite characters in the book? The jar of olives was definitely my hook!
As you can guess The Great Caper Caper is a wonderous book told all in rhyme. and reading THIS book will be well worth YOUR time.
Genuinely LOVED this book, and the characters and the storyline. Beyond Adorable!!
Always grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Union Square Kids.

Join Lady Pancakes and Sir French Toast as they investigate the missing refrigerator light.
Very cute characters and art style. The rhyming scheme and word choice is great for young readers to stretch their language skills.
The themes in this book may be advanced for young readers and this may open a door for further conversations about ethics in your home. In the end, a less popular food stole the light so that others would have to come to him to get it, and decides to give the light back when he’s caught and when he sees that friendship is important. There are many strands that you could pull there as to the theme of the book.
Thank you to Union Square Kids and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are back for another adventure. This time the Great Light has disappeared from the fridge. Together with friends, they figure out what happened and come up with a plan go get the light back. They even help another character see how important friendship can be.
I appreciate the way Funk continues to develop these characters. The humor is there but readers also see Sir French Toast be vulnerable and admit he is afraid of the dark. This offers them a chance to share their fears too. The artwork is colorful and fun to study. Don't miss the puns for adults too. A terrific read aloud for classes or libraries. Can't wait to see what they tackle next.

Josh Funk did it again!! He penned a delightful rhyming tale that takes you through the refrigerator. Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are on a mission to discover who turned off the light in the refrigerator? This engaging story will entertain children and adults alike. This book is perfect for children in kindergarten to about third grade. I like using this series to supplement the mystery unit in school.
I look forward to more books in this series. Many thanks to the author, Union Square Kids and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

The Great Caper Caper: a Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast Story by Josh Funk and Illustrated by Brendan Kearney ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Josh Funk has created a clever series with Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. This latest addition is as wonderful as the others. Told in rhyming prose, Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast must solve the mystery of the missing great light. Once they do, they must steal it back. I love the brilliant use of landscape and limitless food characters. Kearney does a fantastic job bringing them to life and adding intricate designs to keep children coming back for more.

I thought that this book had some excellent illustrations!
They were lovely and they brought the story to life
I thought that the book was well written and the book was really well put together, the layout was perfect and the writing wasn’t over the images like it can be in some books, it was nice and clear
My daughter is a big fan of another series that had an evil vegetable in it that she read at school and this is the first in this series we have read – she enjoyed it so much we are now looking to get the rest of them for her!
It is 5 stars from me for this one, a fun read – very highly recommended

Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are back! This time, they have to figure out what happened to the refrigerator light. The entire fridge is dark, except for one place. Las Veggies! I don't want to give too much away, so just go read it!
The illustrations in this are adorable, as always. I love the different foods and how their personalities come through. These books never disappoint, and I always look forward to the next!

Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney are back with the fifth installment in the Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series.
They've done it again with this fabulous picture book that tells the tale of a lost light and cooperation among friends.
This series continues with its excellent rhyme scheme and even better vocabulary. This picture book is great for all ages, but in particular can be used in upper grade elementary classrooms to decode phenomenal vocabulary words!

A great addition to this series, which I suppose does not have to be read in order, but I think is better if you have, this fifth Lady Pancake book is an homage to heist films like Oceans 11. When the light in the fridge is stolen, the friends find a way to get it back. With trademark wordplay, and fantastic worlds in the detailed illustrations, this won't disappoint fans. If it's your first Lady Pancake book, enjoy, but then turn around and grab the original.

If you're a fan of Josh Funk's work you KNOW that humor and wit is key. This time in the "LADY PANCAKE & SIR FRENCH TOAST" universe, our trusty duo (and their friends) go on a Whodunit case teaching kids about clues, investigations and teamwork. Parents will love reading this aloud since Josh Funk's writing always has a mix of imagination for both kids and adults. Easy to make crafts, printables and some games out of #5 in the series. Pinterest Moms will have a ball with this one!

We LOVE this book series - it is easily our favorite to read to our two year old, by FAR. The prose is witty and fun and snappy, and the illustrations are hilarious. Of all these books this was probably our least favorite, but we still snapped it up right away when it came in and were thrilled to enjoy it. For any parents with kids of any ages needing fun new bedtime reads, RUN don't walk to anything by Josh Funk!

Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney have another smash hit on their hands with the Great Caper Caper. It has clever rhymes, an endearing story and intriguing pictures. The light goes out in the fridge and Sir French Toast and Lady Pancake have to solve the mystery of who stole the light. This book is a worthy addition to the other four in the series. Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of this book.

This is a great laugh out loud picture book. All the food related play on words for the character names was really ingenious. We were all the time waiting for which funny food character would pop up next. It was also nice to see the theme of friendship at the end. A great book for a school or home library. Thanks NetGalley for the advanced e-copy.

Thank you to Josh Funk, the publisher, and NetGalley for the early copy of this book.
Only Josh Funk can make food in a frig funny! Another creative rhyming story with delightful illustrations and silly food themed characters. My students will be super excited to know there is a new installment in this series.

Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast are such fun characters and I loved their latest adventure in THE GREAT CAPER CAPER. The whole world that Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney have created in the fridge is astounding and so fun for kids. The rhymes and structure of the story are used expertly. The text contains many rare words for children to build up their vocabulary with. A must read!

Best read like “The Night Before Christmas”.
The story itself is very cute. I especially loved all the food puns. The message that being a grinch and that friendship is good was cute.
The artwork really worked for the story and I loved noticing little details about the characters, such as pancake’s whip cream hair and cherry bow.

What an amazing story, smart, sharp, funny, and I love books that rhymes
The art work was the same way very, smart and thoughtful. The Las Veggies page illustration was very clever.

This was a weird and wacky book following French Toast and Pancake as they try to solve the case of the missing Great Light.
The rhyming text was fun and the illustrations were cute. A great addition to any library.
