Bake You a Pie [With CD]

This is a terrific book! I gave it to my partner's grand daughter and she loved it. The pictures and the langauge are vivid and colorful and she loved the music, too.

This book is a delight and the CD is a huge bonus. My kids (6 and 9) were thrilled to find the CD tucked into the back cover. They were singing the song for days after listening to it.

I tried out Bake You a Pie on my granddaughter and grandson. They clapped, they giggled and they asked that it be read over and over again. Now that's a testimony for a children's book. There's rhythm and rhyme in Bake You a Pie. Baby Sam; Grace, the little angel; the tenor, Luciano; Louis, the hepcat; Hank, the cowboy; Jolie, a sweet crawfish; Buddy, the hound dog; Pearl, the rock star; Gizmo, the robot; Smelly, the garbage truck; and Junior, the little giant, were all so hungry, they got pies that were made just for them. Now those pies were all different. One was blueberry, another was sweet potato, another was eggplant parmesan and yet another was a cactus meringue. Oh, and there's more whimsical pies to be found in this book. But you'll have to read it to discover what they are. Bake You a Pie is great fun and the illustrations are colorful and quirky. As an added bonus, the book comes with a delightful CD with delightful performances of the different musical genres included in the book. Armchair Interviews says: Kids are going to get a kick out of Bake You a Pie.

I ordered this book because I love Olson-Brown's writing--"Ten Stinky Babies" and "Hush Little Digger" have been favorites in our house for a while now. We love the new book and the CD is a must for the car! Any family that likes singing and storytelling would love this book! Highly recommend!!!
