How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World

Knopf, 1994 - Apples - 32 pages

Illus. in full color. An apple pie is easy to make...if the market is open. But if the market is closed, the world becomes your grocery store. This deliciously silly recipe for apple pie takes readers around the globe to gather ingredients. First hop a steamboat to Italy for the finest semolina wheat. Then hitch a ride to England and hijack a cow for the freshest possible milk. And, oh yes! Don't forget to go apple picking in Vermont! A simple recipe for apple pie is included. "Libraries should consider purchasing multiple copies since every preschool and primary-grade teacher in town will want a copy to read."--(starred) Booklist.

My daughter and I love this book. I do add lib to the story and go back to check the maps but she really seems to like it that way. We look forward to baking our own apple pie once the weather cools and using the oven makes sense to warm our house!

I really did want her to see more of the world. Many too many stops in different European countries. The page on cinnamon from Sri Lanka was wonderful, though. And it's cute. Get it from the library ...
