This is a realistic fiction book. There is no particular time period, but it can easily be set in present day. It is about a girl who is trying to figure out what her Dad means when he says one of their trees is a pie tree. She also is very observant of all the nature things she finds in her

and that they were going to make a pie. This book demonstrates attention to detail, and predicting. I like that the book gives the recipe for a cherry pie. This would be fun to read aloud and then make a cherry pie (or a pretend one) to practice measurements and proportions. Show Less

This is a book about a cherry tree and using the cherries to make a pie. It also is great for teaching noticing things on a page, on each page the boy notices everything but the pie.

The author/illustrator uses the technique of collage to create an extraordinary book about the process of making a cherry pie. Children would love to read this book and then bake their own pie.

This book is really interesting to read to children, it is a really easy read and not only goes through the process of making a cherry pie but also explains the seasons with its great illustrations. Wonderful to use when teaching how to make predictions or the natural life cycle process of birds or

This picture book shows how a "pie" tree develops through out the seasons. The tree ends up being a cherry tree. The child and father pick the cherries in order to make a cherry pie. A very cute story for beginner readers.

Pie in the Sky is an interesting book. It actually gives deatils on how to bake a cherry pie after the young girl waits to see a pie in the tree. She discoveres its not actually a pie but the cherries that are put into the pie. The pictures in this book really pop out. There are great uses of

This book goes through the seasons and the two birds watch as the seasons change until they are able to make their cherry pie. Good for when talking about nature and the different seasons.

Dad says the tree, growing in the yard when the family moved into the house, is a pie tree. But do pies really grow on trees?
Watch the tree as the seasons change; see the birds have a cherry feast. Will the raccoon save any cherries for us? And what will happen when we finally pick the cherries?
The collage illustrations are a charming accompaniment to the simple text; a delight for readers young and old.
Recommended.
