Pie

De: Sarah Weeks

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

When Alice's aunt Polly, The Pie Queen of Ipswitch, passes away, she takes with her the secret to her world-famous piecrust recipe. Or does she? In her will, Polly leaves the recipe to her extraordinarily fat, remarkably disagreeable cat, Lardo . . . and then leaves Lardo in the care of Alice.

Suddenly, the whole town is wondering how you leave a recipe to a cat. Everyone wants to be the next big pie-contest winner, and it’s making them pie-crazy. It's up to Alice and her friend Charlie to put the pieces together and discover the not-so-secret recipe for happiness: Friendship. Family. And the pleasure of doing something for the right reason.

With Pie, acclaimed author Sarah Weeks has baked up a sweet and satisfying delight, as inviting as a warm pie on a cold day. You’ll enjoy every last bite.

good gravy

I loved it. I read it with my daughter for a mother daughter book club. what a perfect time for us. now to try out baking skills.

Super cute.

This was slightly slow, but my son did enjoy hearing the pie recipes before each chapter, specifically asking me to make each one (of which we have yet to make 1 ;) But, it was a cute story, maybe more for girls but passed the time in the car for us nicely.

Wonderfully sweet story!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Pie to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version of Pie, but I loved the audio version so much I plan to pick up the print version to read the story to my kids one day!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how much Alice learned from her Aunt Polly, without even knowing it.

Have you listened to any of Kate Rudd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I had not listened to any of Kate Rudd's other performances prior to listening to Pie, but I do plan on looking into what other stories she has under her belt. She did a great job on Pie.

If you could rename Pie, what would you call it?

I think Pie was perfectly named!

Any additional comments?

Just an overall sweet, silly and fun story. Short and sweet, it made me happy when listening!

Amazing

If you like sweet books choose this one it is absolutely amazing. I strongly recommend it.

Cute

This is a swift, light, sweet little book. It is worth listening to once. The narration is non-distracting and fits with the tone of the story.

Lovely story my daughter loved it.

Great read for my 5th grader. We listened in the car as she followed along in the book and we both loved it!

Good book

A robust, surprising, and very satisfying read. I would love to book club this book!

A Delicious Short Story!

After finishing this short story I am dying to try one of these pie recipes. I could almost smell and taste them as I listened to this sweet and delightful book. Polly’s humble and generous nature was so refreshing. This is a book that will leave you smiling and licking your lips!

beautiful story.

Fantastic and beautifully narrated in a clear pleasant voice. especially loved the singing rhymes and the pie recipies. Polly was a gem and Alice chip off the block.

sweet story

This is a wonderfully sweet story with a beautiful message of being happy with your own gifts and not being envious of others but nurturing your own.
