This charming book extends far beyond the usual "A is for apple" alphabet book. Instead, it uses the alphabet as a foundation on which to build the sweet story of a dog attempting to get a taste of an apple pie:
E eager for it
F find a crumb of it
G get a taste for it
H have to get a lick of it
I in trouble
The stylish illustrations enhance the text and bring the dog's antics to life. A fresh and creative take on the ABCs!

So much more than "A is for Apple, B is for Bear"
Dec 13 2011
By E. Strickenburg
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Full of charm and sweet simplicity, this is far more than just an ABC book. The alphabet is just the structural foundation: on top of it is built the delightful story of a dog attempting to get a taste of freshly baked apple pie. It's a bit like a poem:
E eager for it
F find a crumb of it
G get a taste for it
H have to get a lick of it
I in trouble
The stylish illustrations blend well with text, filling out the story of a curious dog's antics. If you're looking for a fresh and creative take on teaching the alphabet - and a sweet story to boot - this is the book for you.

I love the way this ABC book tells a story. Excellent for children's programs. Most ABC books are just vocabulary books but Apple Pie ABC actually tells a story; I love it! Plan to use it in my Toddler program at the Library.
