Written and illustrated by Alexandra Day, "Frank and Ernest" and "Frank and Ernest Play Ball" (Scholastic) recount the adventures of two friends -- Frank (a bear) and Ernest (an elephant) -- as they run other people's businesses while the owners go on vacation.
Day has made the focus of each story the process of Frank and Ernest learning the specialized jargon of each of their temporary occupations.
They learn to say "mats" for pancakes, "popeye" for spinach, and "houseboat" for banana split, for instance, in their diner adventure, and baseball teaches them the lingo of the dugout, including "phenom," "payoff pitch" and "scroogie." These are wonderful books, and I hope Alexandra Day continues the series.
