How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A.

By Marjorie Priceman and Shannon William

Book Overview

Fancy a slice of cherry pie? Let's get started. . . . What, no bowl? No pie pan? No pot holders? Join our young baker (and her little dog ) as they travel the United States--from New Hampshire to Hawaii, from Alaska to Texas--in search of the coal, cotton, clay, and granite they need to create all their baking tools. In a companion to her bestselling How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, two-time Caldecott Honor illustrator Marjorie Priceman takes us on a round-the-U.S.A. journey by riverboat, taxi, train, and plane in a culinary adventure--and a playful celebration of America's natural resources.

Customer Reviews

A fun story for elementary students.

I really loved "How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World" and now this newest story is almost as good. The story makes anyone who reads it realize how much more there is to making a pie and how fun it can be to do any task if one puts their mind to it. I tell my students that this is a "thinking" book and when I read it to my 2 & 3 grade students, I had them help graph out all the places that are visited in the story and then finished with a cherry treat of some kind. The kids really loved it!

Great book!

We love this book. The artwork is wonderful and the story is fun. We have the other book How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World so we had to get this one also.
