Product Description

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-What should have been a perfect summer for one young boy is ruined when Jeremy Ross moves in and becomes number one on the narrator's enemy list. Fortunately, his father has a secret recipe for a pie that is guaranteed to help get rid of enemies. While Dad works on mixing the ingredients and baking the pie, he explains his son's role in the plan: "-you need to spend a day with your enemy. Even worse, you have to be nice to him." It sounds tough, but the boy decides to give it a try. Predictably, between throwing water balloons at the girls, playing basketball, and hiding out in the tree house, he decides that Jeremy is not so bad after all. There's still the problem of the pie, however. When his father serves up the dessert, the young protagonist decides to warn Jeremy that it is "poisonous or something." However, it seems that both his father and his new friend are just fine, and what's more, the pie is delicious. This is a clever tale with an effective message about how to handle relationships and conflict. King's stylized and humorous illustrations, done in colored pencil and pastel, will work well with a group.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book Dec 26 2010
By alison
Format:Hardcover
This book is well written with a fabulous message. It's a wonderful book to read aloud and I've read it to classes of children and in bed to my 3-year old and had great success in both situations. The pictures are charming as well and add to the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to make an enemy into a friend Jan 15 2010
Format:Hardcover
This is a wonderful way to give children strategies for overcoming conflicts and making friends. This is also a good story about how fathers are role models for their sons. The lessons contained do not interfere with the telling of the story in any way. Very well-done.

By A Customer

Today Derek Munson came to my kindergarten son's school to do a reading of "Enemy Pie". I attended. Derek was fabulous and engaging. The book was wonderful! My son thought it was the greatest book and on the way home said "that guy is a good author!" He even let the kids MAKE enemy pie! Too fun!!! We came home and immediately bought the book! I only wish we would have purchased an autographed copy befor the reading! Thank you Dered Munson! I can't wait to see what's next!
