Wong: Apple Pie 4th Of July

Wong, Janet S. Apple Pie 4th of July. Illus. Margaret Chodos-Irvine. Orlando FL: Voyager Books/Harcourt, Inc., 2002

I really really enjoyed this book. I feel it really tells you a story of how a lot of children may feel who's parents aren't from the United States. This little girl is frustrated that she has to work in her parent's store and not get to go to the parade. She is convinced that no one wants Chinese food on the 4th of July. It is neat how the story takes us through her mind. In the end of the story I feel it all works out for her because she gets to see the neatest part of the 4th of July which is the fireworks show. The illustrations were really detailed in this book. They were very colorful and detailed to the story.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I do find it for younger children yet I can see how older kids may like it as well. I find it neat how the book takes you through a morning of this young child. I can see how many children may go through this same routine everyday. This shows us how children really do think. I can only imagine how many children group different noises together and use it for a long period of time. This is a really fun book to read to children. Getting to make the noises with the story makes it all the more enjoyable. I enjoyed the bright illustrations throughout the book as well. I was a simple book with a good story.
