(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Santoro. On his way to propose to Queen Bea, King Bing meets animals who look longingly at the pie he's carrying on his head. When Queen Bea refuses him, the animals stand up for the king and are rewarded with the pie. The zaniness of the animals' cumulative rhyming dialogue joins the unusual perspectives of the stylized watercolor and gouache illustrations for read-aloud fun. A cherry pie recipe is included.
