Illustrated by
Melissa Sweet.
Jacob, who loves to bake, attempts to make his first pie for his parents' anniversary. He dutifully follows his favorite TV chef's baking rules, cleverly using them to resolve problems, including buying himself--and his pie--more time. Sweet's illustrations, sprinkled with eye-catching patterns, complete this joyful tribute to perseverance. A "Happy Peach Pie" recipe is included.
