How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World (Dragonfly Books)

by Marjorie Priceman

Bake a delicious apple pie--and take a trip with this culinary global adventure!

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 picture book takes readers around the globe to gather ingredients for a delicious apple pie. 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.

We read this one aloud again. It seems to be on all the recommended reading lists. It is a perfect September/October read, but it went well with where we are to bring it back out again to read alongside Ox-Cart Man to talk about the flax and grain of wheat. We also appreciated it being true Neopolitan seminola wheat, because that, we gluten-free people, can eat. I'm not in love with the illustrations, but they are whimsical and really appeal to my children.

We originally bought a copy of this book to go along with the Memoria Press read alouds. I believe it is mentioned in Kindergarten and First Grade. We own a paperback copy and recently bought another book by the same author to read soon with our Around the World in Picture Books study.
