The Cherry Pie Baby
Authored and illustrated by: Kay Chorao
Summary: Little dog Annie wants a little brother, instead of her
ragged baby doll. As she is helping her father serve pies, a little boy dog named
Beau stops to buy some. However, he is out of money, and trades his baby dog brother for the pies. As Annie’s father finds out about the deal, she returns
the baby, but gains Beau as a friend.
Evaluation/ Rating: What I like most about this book is the
use of animals. The use of animals makes the story so much sweeter. Another
factor in this book that I like is that it relates to the mishaps in childhood.
For example, wanting a baby brother, making friends, and working with parents.
However, the example in the book is a little far out, but I feel that we can
get the idea. The pictures are also very colorful and depict what the text is
saying very well.
