The Pie That Molly Grew
by Sue Heavenrich
Molly plants a seed in the ground and it grows into a pumpkin vine. After many months, she has a ripe pumpkin to turn into pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! At the back of the book, there are instructions and a recipe to make pumpkin pie from scratch. There is also information about pumpkins and how they flower and grow.
The rhyming text uses a poetic scheme similar to “The House That Jack Built”. I really loved the repetitive nature of the text, but at the end it branches off into new rhymes describing people gathered to give thanks. It fits beautifully with the story and flows with a nice rhythm as you read aloud.
The illustrations are so beautiful! I love the warm art style that perfectly captures the crisp autumn weather.
