My son was disappointed that the book has the girl finding supplies instead of food ingredients. True, food ingredients are more fun, but that would have been mostly a repeat of the Apple Pie book, I guess, although that would have worked well also. I knew from the start what it was about, and so I had different expectations which the book met very well.
The illustrations are as charming as the Apple Pie book. We love the addition of the dog companion.
As a "roadschooler," I appreciate the educational aspect. It truly enlightens a child (and an adult, since many of us are so daft these days) to what it takes to make the kitchen tools we take for granted. The maps included, both with and without the route, are excellent as well.
Many complain that it isn't as charming as the Apple Pie book. Well...iron isn't as appealing as apples, true, and wood isn't as delightful as a cow with an English accent. You can't argue with those aspects. We do like the Apple Pie book "better," but we've been reading it for years, so it's a family favorite. Let's just say that we have a VERY limited amount of space for books in our travel trailer full of 10 people, 2 pets, and all the equipment needed to run a homeschool, music mission, and business, and this book has made the cut! It's a winner in and of itself. It's just hard to compete with an over-the-top hit like Apple Pie. So...don't compare! Just enjoy each for what it is!
We're soon heading to Door County, Wisconsin to pick cherries to make the pie recipe that Marjorie Priceman so faithfully included in the book. Thanks, Marjorie, for another great growing up memory for our family!
The recipe for apple pie at the end of the book is simple and delicious, and it makes use of all the ingredients gathered in the story.
We used the story for a mapping lesson as well charted the protagonist's journey on our world map on the wall. We used it for a cooking lesson. We used it for a science lesson (how are sugar and butter made, and how is salt retrieved from sea water.) We used it to have fun story time together, and that was the best of all.
Now I am glad the library didn't have it. Having purchased it, I anticipate my family enjoying it for years to come.

Histoire intéressante.
Una niña tiene la intención de preparar un pastel de manzanas, pero cuando se encuentra la tienda cerrada, se dispone a emprender un viaje a través de los 5 continentes para encontrar los ingredientes que necesita.
Esta historia es una forma imaginativa y educativa de explicar diferencias entre países, a través de sus animales, cultura, curiosidades....
Las ilustraciones son de estilo clásico, con detalles pero con trazo suelto muy dinámico. Mi hijo se queda embobado fijándose en pequeños detalles, y le encanta el final, cuando ya reunidos todos los ingredientes y preparado el pastel, queda un pequeño obstáculo que resolver.
