Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Avril Lynne. While visiting her grandparents, young Amelia Bedelia helps Grandma make apple pie. When a flock of swallows "swallows the whole thing," Amelia surprises everyone with her own tiny pie. Though the puns don't all hit the mark, enough of them are funny. The autumnal illustrations, with lots of reds and oranges, convey the Bedelias' familial warmth.
