This is a wonderful, fun loving story. The author is down to earth and knows well how to keep it simple so that little minds can understand what's happening and get a real kick out of the story. My five-year-old daughter asks for it again and again. She especially enjoys the part about the mother screaming as a real grasshopper is placed in her mouth. She can't stop laughing. I'd recommend this book to anyone with young children!
With simple yet charming color drawings

Grasshopper Pie is a humorous picture book by Rebecca and Angela Talley about imagination and the dangers of taking ideas too literally. A mother dreams up and talks about unique dishes such as "grasshopper pie" to her children, yet her young boy and girl decide to surprise her with a "pie" that has not-so-imaginary ingredients! A funny story, nicely illustrated with simple yet charming color drawings, Grasshopper Pie is a welcome addition to school and community library and especially recommended for young readers ages 4 to 6.
Delightful!

Great Pictures, Fun Story

I read this book with my 9-year-old daughter and she loved it! It's a very cute children's story that all ages will be able to enjoy and associate with - the kind of book that your kids will want you to read to them again as soon as you are done the first time. The pictures are really well done - it's amazing how well Angela, herself a young girl, captues emotion and expression in her simple, familiar style. Let's hope she and mom Rebecca come out with more books soon.
