I will admit that I am most certainly biased in my review on the basis of the fact that the dog featured throughout looks suspiciously like my own little rascal.
In How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A. it is nearly the Fourth of July, so who wouldn’t want to make a cherry pie? When the little girl discovers the local cook shop is closed, she embarks on a country wide journey collecting raw materials for her baking. Rather than stick to only the food products needed, the author has our heroine learning all about America’s natural resources as she collects coal in order to make a steel pie tin or oil to make plastic for the spoons. Of course, various national landmarks make appearances along the way. Children and adults alike will be fascinated at learning about the origins of everyday items. Furthermore unlike Travels with Charlie, this shows plenty of people of color throughout. An added bonus? The book has a cherry pie recipe!
