In this merry, multi-species story cooked up with folksy warmth and humor, everybody gets a piece of the pie -- and then some. Grandma Cat makes a delicious apple pie, and there's plenty for everyone -- and even a piece left over. Grandma Mouse finds a piece of apple pie, and there's plenty for everyone -- and even crumbs left over. Grandma Ant spies some crumbs of apple pie, and there's plenty for everyone. But what's left over after cats, mice, and ants have had their fill? Little readers will eat up this scrumptious, gently math-related story that's as sweet and satisfying as a fresh-baked dessert.
My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this book. It's very simple and a quick read, but what really makes are the illustrations which are detailed and create a "warm and cozy" feel for the story.
LIke stone soup, apple pie can make friends

Grandma Cat's apple pie has one piece left over, which the mice nibble on and leave a few crumbs for the ants. If you take an apple pie (or MAKE an apple pie) be sure to cut it so there will be one piece left. And then divide that piece into pieces for the "mice" and be sure to save some crumbs for the "ants" in your group. THere's good math to be made out of pie, and you could make this into a good fractions lesson (what is a sixth of a sixth?) or just a fun way to do a measurement lesson. There's always time to start "cooking up reading."
