Book Review: How to make an Apple Pie and see the world
By Marjorie Priceman
In this delightful and light-hearted tale, we travel around the world with an adventurous girl on her quest to make an apple pie to share with her friends. Among the beautiful and vivid illustrations, the book includes a world map and children can journey along with her while learning about wonderful places around the world.
The diverse interactions taking place in the book make for many interesting topics of discussion with a child and introduce new ideas and vocabulary.
This story depicts bravery, ambition, kindness, and perseverance as she interacts with various animals and people of different cultures to collect the ingredients she needs for her pie.
