review 1: Murray, A. (2011). Apple Pie ABC. New York: Disney-Hyperion. Alphabet CategoryChildren’s Literature Review (2011), School Library Journal Review (2011). In the picture book, Murray introduces in bold letters the alphabet letters. The book starts with apple pie and the next letters such as b, c, d are used in the form of verbs to make an apple pie; b is for bake it, c is for cool it, d is for dish it out, etc. The dog has funny facial expression in the book which attracts young readers. The bold text definitely make a statement in the book, these call the readers’ attention. A particular feature of the visual elements of the book includes the texture of the book which appears as matte. The book could be used for prediction; having kids guess what are the action... mores that can be done to make an apple pie. The book definitely made me want to eat a pie!
review 2: Alright you have the over the top giddy dog about apple pie. The illustrations are very two tone and kinda blah. It took creativity to tell the story with the letter and pretty good. I think they could've done better with X. "Exiting..." Does not start with X so I was disappointed with that. Spoiler alert.......but the dog totally eats the pie/makes a mess and isn't scolded. Um, what about consequences for poor behavior? At least a tummy ache and not just "zzzzzzzzz go to sleep and dream of it." Probably won't check it from the library again. Neither of our fav. less
