ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 ????Read Aloud | LADY PANCAKE & SIR FRENCH TOAST by Josh Funk ????
Hi there! I’m Miranda, and I’m Craig. We’re so happy you’re here for Story Time with us! Today, we’re going to read a super fun book called “Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast” by Josh Funk, with pictures by Brendan Kearney. Let’s jump right in!
Once upon a time, deep inside a fridge, there lived two friends: Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. They were best buddies until they heard some surprising news from their neighbor, Miss Brie the cheese.
“The syrup is almost all gone! There’s just one drop left!” she exclaimed. Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast both wanted that last drop, so they decided to race for it!
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast dashed through Broccoli Forest and past the Orange Juice Fountain. They climbed up Potato Mash Mountain, pushing and shoving to get ahead. Lady Pancake rolled super fast, while Sir French Toast tried to keep up.
Sir French Toast slipped and fell into some sticky jam, but he quickly got back up and shouted, “You’re a meanie!” Lady Pancake swung down on a rope made of noodles and said, “I’m the best breakfast food!”
Sir French Toast took a shortcut down Sauerkraut Peak, zooming past spinach and artichoke dip. He flew through the air but landed with a big thump.
Meanwhile, Lady Pancake sailed across a soup ocean but got stuck in Chili Lagoon. She ignored a warning from a chickpea and ended up causing a bean avalanche!
Sir French Toast sneaked through the vegetable crisper, while beans rained down from above. He climbed up a celery ladder, and Lady Pancake floated down with a lettuce parachute.
Finally, they reached the syrup bottle, but it was empty! Out of the shadows came Baron von Waffle, who had already taken the syrup while they were busy racing.
Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast realized they had been silly to fight. They decided to share from now on. “Look, we can split that butter over there!” said Sir French Toast.
They learned that sharing is important and that working together is much better than racing against each other.
Wow, what a fun story! It reminds us that sharing with friends is always a good idea. Thanks for joining us for Story Time! We can’t wait to see you next time!
Sharing is Caring: At home, find a snack or toy that you can share with a friend or family member. Think about how it feels to share and how it makes the other person feel. Draw a picture of you sharing and write a sentence about why sharing is important.
Race to the Finish: Create your own obstacle course at home or in the playground. Use pillows, chairs, or other safe objects to make your course. Race with a friend or family member, but remember to help each other if someone gets stuck. Talk about how working together can make the race more fun.
Story Time Role Play: With a friend or family member, act out the story of Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. Use kitchen items like a pancake or toast as props. Take turns being different characters and think about how each character feels during the race. Discuss what you learned about teamwork and sharing from the story.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

I have something to say! Go for it! Breakfast is breaking the fast from when you were sleeping. Great! Today’s book is “Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast” by Josh Funk, illustrated by Brendan Kearney. Let’s get started!
Deep in the fridge and behind the green peas, way past the tofu and left of the cheese, up in the corner and back by a roast, sat Lady Pancake beside Sir French Toast. The leftover friends were as close as could be until they heard news from their neighbor, Miss Brie.
“The syrup is almost completely gone! A single drop is left!” she went on. “The last drop is mine!” Lady Pancake conversed, but French Toast replied, “Not if I get there first!” And off he went—the race had begun!
With Pancake behind, they broke into a run through Broccoli Forest, past Orange Juice Fountain. They climbed to the top of Potato Mash Mountain, pushing and shoving as they fought for the lead. Toast was behind Pancake, who rolled at high speeds. He screeched to a stop at the edge of the shelf, clutching a grapevine to steady himself. Toast didn’t notice and couldn’t quite stop, plummeting down into jam with a plop.
He scraped himself off and yelled up, “You’re a meanie!” As Pancake repelled down a rope of linguine, she bragged, “I’m the best of all breakfast foods!” Then she hurdled a lime and skipped over two beets.
Toast thought, “This looks bleak,” so he took a shortcut down Sauerkraut Peak, skiing past spinach and artichoke dip. He vaulted high in the air, but stumbled and fell way below with a thump.
Pancake made use of her seafaring skills and sailed across oceans of soup, causing spills. But in Chili Lagoon, Pancake got stuck at a fork in the road. “Don’t go that way!” warned the chickpea, but Pancake sped on and got trapped behind dressings—one Russian, one Ranch. She squeezed out and started a bean avalanche!
Toast re-emerged in the vegetable crisper, sneaking up swiftly and not making a whisper. Beans were falling from such a great height—some kidney, some lima, some pinto, some white—searching for safety from the reigning legumes. Toast turned to hide but was blasted by fumes of Brussels sprouts left from an old party platter.
Quickly, he climbed up a celery ladder. Beside him, a lettuce leaf parachute landed. Pancake flipped out, “It’s mine!” she demanded, battered and soggy, too tired to push. They were limping and stumbling.
“Maple syrup, don’t you know?” There stood the bottle of syrup at last! But wait—it was empty. They stood quite aghast. Licking his lips with a sneer, out of the shadows crept Baron von Waffle. “I got here first while you bickered!” he snickered with one evil laugh. Waffle slipped out of sight—the syrup was gone, no more reason to fight.
Trudging back home beneath layers of grime, Toast said, “Perhaps we should not fight next time.” “Agreed,” replied Pancake. “As friends, we should share!”
“Hey, look! We can split up that butter right there, sitting on the edge of a shelf!”
“Sharing butter? Just like me!”
“Hey, look! Is that our friend Miss Brie? We were racing against each other. We should have just offered some help!”
Surrounded by fruits and veggies, sitting on the edge of a shelf, they realized the importance of sharing.
Wow, what a crazy book! I know! You know what this reminds me of? The time I opened my fridge and my oat milk and cottage cheese were fighting each other with pickle spears!
No, I was going to say it reminds me that I need to eat more fruits and vegetables. Did that really happen?
We’ll see you next time! Thanks for watching Story Time!
Yeah, thanks!
