Two knights have their dinner plans derailed as they discover object after object in their stove-objects that ominously belong to their missing friend, Harold-in this delightfully slapstick picture book.

Someone has put a sword in the stove.
Was it Eenie?
Was it Meenie?
Was it Harold?
WHO WOULD PUT A SWORD IN THE STOVE!?

Frank Dormer's rollicking whodunit has bumbling characters worthy of The Three Stooges, sly humor straight out of Monty Python, and an irresistible screwball spirit all its own.

Industry Reviews

"As Eenie and Meenie start cooking, they are shocked to find their missing friend Harold’s sword and shield in their stove. Eenie comically cooks up ridiculous stories about why a shield could possibly be in their stove, while frantic Meenie continues to pull out additional items from their oven. The final punch line, which solves the mystery and ends the book...will leave [readers]...doubled over in laughter.... [Dormer's] choice to use a basic color palette against a mostly plain white background keeps the focus on the characters’s dramatic facial expressions and size differences, which adds to the humor of the piece. VERDICT: A hilarious addition to any picture book collection."
