It looks as if list has vanished--unless Rosamond's strange cat pancakes are somehow at the heart of the mystery.

Critic reviews

"With his usual wry humor, Nate solves another mystery. The text, written in comic detectivese, and Marc Simont's hilarious illustrations add to the fun."—School Library Journal, Starred"In a brisk mystery-adventure, Nate, with characteristic offhand brilliance, recovers friend Claude's missing grocery list in time for lunch. The ribtickling drawings capture the mock-serious tone of the story."—The Horn Book Magazine

Only ten min of story

Half of the production are lessons and jokes. I just wanted stories so I'd probably have bought a different one of I had known.

The pancakes

I don’t like pancakes but I like the story and the way they look like.
