3 Fun Pie Books for Kids Who Love to Read and Be Read to
Add some of these fun pie books for your kids to your home library.
An apple pie is easy to make...if the market is open. But if the market is closed, the world becomes your grocery store. This picture book takes readers around the globe to gather ingredients for a delicious apple pie. First hop a steamboat to Italy for the finest semolina wheat. Then hitch a ride to England and hijack a cow for the freshest possible milk. And, oh yes! Don't forget to go apple picking in Vermont! A simple recipe for apple pie is included.
Peyton is particular. But she's not picky. Grownups use that word a lot. Picky. Picky. Picky. It's never a good thing. And it's not fair. Peyton likes dogs and cats, scooters and bikes, pools and beaches. And Peyton likes to try new things. She recently mastered long division in math class and loves to practice the saxophone--as long as her adorable dog Mila doesn't howl! But Peyton is particular when it comes to food. Peyton doesn't like it when two foods touch on her plate. Peyton doesn't like green foods. Or orange foods. Or red foods. Peyton doesn't like foods that are gooey or gummy, sticky or slimy, frosted or flaky. And Peyton most definitely doesn't like chunky or lumpy foods.
And with that the feast begins! After the pie the old lady swallows a whole squash, all of the salad, and the entire turkey! As Mother and Father watch in shock, the two children are delighted to see the old lady growing fatter and fatter.

How to Make a Kids Felt Pie Garland
Depending on the age of your child you can put this craft together with tacky glue or hot glue.
You will need:
- Pencil
- Twine or yarn
- Craft felt
- Scissors
- Glue
- ruler
First, cut pie slices by measuring the widest part 4” wide, angle from each corner to 6” out towards the center to create the triangle.
Cut out the “filling“ for your pies, whipped cream (irregular white felt pieces, and some thin strips for crust.
Filling can be solid slightly smaller than crust pieces or cut into little circles for berries.
Glue your fillings into place.
For fruit pies you can either cover with another triangle of crust, cutting out a few cute holes or weave lattice strips, trimming it to fit.
Bunch up your crust strips across the wide part to create a pinched crust and glue into place.
Create whipped cream by pinching your white felt pieces and gluing it then attaching to your pie pieces.
Determine your pattern and lay them out along your chosen string length.
Finally flip each piece over and hot glue your length of string along the back.
