The first grade was treated to an autumnal theme today in the library. We began by sharing How to Make An Apple Pie and See the World.
It’s easy to make an apple pie. Here’s how:
Pack one suitcase.
Add a shopping list.
Hop a boat to Italy then gather two armfuls of semolina wheat.
Head to Sri Lanka to harvest cinnamon from the kurunda tree.
Stow away away on a banana boat and cut some stalks of sugar cane.
Continue collecting only the finest, freshest ingredients the world can offer. (Remaining ingredients found in France and England).
From the jungles of Sri Lanka and the sugar cane fields of Jamaica to the orchards of our own New England, we traveled with an energetic baker in Marjorie Price’s deliciously silly adventure story/cookbook spoof. We followed up with bookbrowsing and check out. Books are due November 6. Happy Reading!
