Relies heavily on the visual, but the illustrations are simple and gorgeous so it works pretty well. Go slow for storytime; make sure everyone can see. ( )

This story uses the letters of the alphabet to tell the story of a little dog pining for a slice of apple pie. He eventually comes up a with a successful plan that leaves him dreaming of apple pie.

I enjoyed reading this book to my 3 year old son and he enjoyed it too. He loved the dog as the main character and he liked the letters and letter recognition. This would be a great book to read and share with pre-K and kinder students. I like the idea of an ABC book with a plot line.

This is a fun way for children to be exposed to the ABC. The author uses the dogs action to highlight the ABC.

Great for kindergarteners to understand their ABC's and also have a connection about the dog's feelings about apple pie.
