The big idea of this story is hard work and being useful of your resources can get you where you want to be. If a reader is struggling, they can use the illustrations to help them. At the end of the story once the little girl has all the ingredients and she’s back in America, the text says “Now all you have to do is mill the wheat into flour, grind the kurundu bark into cinnamon, evaporate the seawater from the salt, boil the sugar cane, persuade the chicken to lay an egg, milk the cow, churn the milk into butter, slice the apples, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie.” For every single step, there is an illustration beside the text. I also really like that the illustrations go along perfectly with the text. All this traveling allows the reader to think about the other countries that could help her just to simply make an apple pie. An armful or two will do.” As she continues her trip, she goes to France for eggs, Sri Lanka for cinnamon and a variety of other places for the ingredients. If you time it right, you’ll arrive in Italy at harvest time. Use the six days on board to brush up on your Italian. Take your shopping list and some walking shoes. For example, when she notices the market is closed she decides she’s going to go to Europe and the text says, “In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Through the story, the little girl goes to different countries to get ingredients for her apple pie. One reason I really like this book is because of the diversity created throughout the plot.
Even when I was younger, I have always liked the book “How to Make and Apple Pie and See the World” by Marjorie Priceman.
