Engagingly nostalgic, this red, black, yellow, and cream-colored picture book follows the fine cumulative tradition so beloved by children. Starting with a little girl and her father's delicious apple pie, the narrative moves onto talk about everything that went into making the tasty treat. Both a 2007 Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book.
When a doting father decides to make an apple pie for his beloved daughter, an enjoyable day is had by all, including the hungry farm animals who hover nearby in the hopes of getting a slice of the super tasty treat!

Review 1:
"Thompson again proves herself a master of mixing up a treat--warm, sweet and satisfying; Bean, who explains his multi-step creative process in a note, is someone to watch."

Review 2:
"This tribute to the artist of an earlier age should take its place among bedtime favorites; if it persuades families to explore picture book classics, so much the better."
