The Apple Pie That Papa Baked

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jonathan Bean. In House-That-Jack-Built-style rhyme, this book describes the provenance of a pie, starting with apples then moving outward to include the tree, the rain, and the world. Likewise, the illustrations start with close-ups then pull back to show the landscape. The use of only three colors (red, mustard brown, and black) and its illustrative style give the book an old-fashioned sensibility.
