Just a few books to celebrate being thankful and a big family meal.
This story about growing the pumpkin for the pie builds upon itself.
The illustrations are lovely, and the book clearly explains how a pumpkin grows. The author's note talks about pumpkins, how bees are super important, how to cook pumpkin from the plant, and even shares a pie recipe.
Lola's family owns an apple orchard. Her family is busy making pies for their shop for Thanksgiving tables. Lola decides she can take care of the family dinner. She even has a plan - but each day, her parents need her help baking the pies. Will they ever have dinner?
I really loved this book - it's a little long so maybe better for older readers. I love how everyone pitched in to help. I loved the funny ending. The book has an author's note where the author talks about her experience being similar to Lola's experience. And there is an apple pie recipe to test.
