Illustrated by
Tara Calahan King.
To help his son get rid of a perceived "enemy," a wise father agrees to bake his famous Enemy Pie. The suspense around the mysterious pie builds as the boy fulfills his end of the bargain by spending what becomes a very enjoyable day with the now-former enemy. This sly tale is further enhanced by warm colored-pencil illustrations featuring goofy globe-headed characters.
