Book Description
Pickle-Chiffon Pie is a story without a villain. No fighting, no bloodshed, but still exciting and fast-moving. It is a tale that stretches the imagination: the reader must accept a juggling lion (six cans of root beer at once!) and a sixteen-foot Gazoo. Not a hard assignment for a child, but perhaps a bit more difficult for a wordly grown-up.
Take heart, you staid elders. The story has elements running throughout that should appeal to adults as well as children (how 'bout mice that paint in the fashion of Picasso, Matisse, Grant Wood and even Toulouse Lautrec?) because the author knew that if a story IS A REALLY GOOD ONE, parents everywhere would be commanded by their children to read it aloud again and again. And maybe even once more...

This review is from: Pickle-Chiffon Pie (Hardcover)
I instantly fell in love with this book when I first read it and have since donated to the school library and given it as gifts. Fabulous story where it pays to care about others and make right choices.

What a Great Book!!! - Pickle Chiffon...Who would of thought :), April 24 2006
By Holly Golightly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pickle-Chiffon Pie (Hardcover)
I was given this book as a child, I don't remember how old I was...I just remember this turned into my favorite book. I still have it on my shelf today (I'm 33 with no children yet) and occassionally pick it up to read it.Such a great story to remind us all about respect for others and that looks aren't everything when you have kindness in your heart.
I highly reccommend reading this even if you are an adult. Enjoy!!

One of my true favorites, Jun 20 2008
By carb101 "carb101" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pickle-Chiffon Pie (Hardcover)
This book is fabulous through and through. I love the creative, quirky illustrations and the imaginative storyline, but what really sets this book apart is the beautiful message: that the right prince for a princess is the one who shows kindness and consideration for others. A great message for girls among the princess-fantasy filled world of books. My daughters are 9 and 12, and I've been reading this book to them (less and less, of course) for at least 10 years; it's that's good and that fun.
