We read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World.  This book was a great transition from fiction to non-fiction!

In the story, the main character wants to make an apple pie, but the market is closed. She travels the world finding the ingredients to make her pie.We put pictures of the ingredients on the places where she found them in the book, and tracked the main character's journey. We also added a picture of where we live to the map.
