Lola’s family makes thousands of apple pies each year from the apples they grow in their orchards. She wants to start fixing things for the family’s Thanksgiving dinner, but the pies must be done first. When the pies are finally finished, she is so very tired (apple pie tired) and doesn’t have enough energy to make all the things she wants to cook. Kid-friendly text, along with a kid-friendly theme, make this a fun book for kids (and everyone), especially since author Beth Charles includes a family recipe for apple pie at the end of the book. (Ages 5-8)
