Perfect Pancakes if you please - Modern Fantasy

This is a really fun book for an elementary classroom.  There is nothing particularly challenging about it, but it has a nice fantasy story about a king that falls into trouble because of his love for pancakes!  He promises his daughter to anyone who could bring him the perfect stack, and a wizard uses sorcery to fulfill his wish.  A dashing prince saves the day!  I liked how the story had a positive lesson that could be taught while still being an exciting and compelling story.  I would implement this in the classroom by having the students read a fantasy story then write their own during writing time.
