Now available in a Dragonfly edition, here is Marjorie Priceman's pie-making journey across the United States!

Fancy a slice of cherry pie? Let's get started. . . . What, no bowl? No pie pan? No pot holders?

Join our young baker (and her little dog!) as they travel the United States—from New Hampshire to Hawaii, from Alaska to Texas—in search of the coal, cotton, clay, and granite they need to create all their baking tools.

In a companion to her bestselling How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, two-time Caldecott Honor illustrator Marjorie Priceman takes us on a round-the-U.S.A. journey by riverboat, taxi, train, and plane in a culinary adventure—and a playful celebration of America's natural resources.

"Priceman's breezy text sets the tone for freely painted gouache illustrations celebrating America's people, products, and diversity, all in cheerful colors and with sly touches of humor."--Horn Book

"The trip is a madcap adventure, but there are many landmarks to observe, and children will get a sense of the breadth and scope of the country. . . . The art brims with good cheer and excites with detail, opening the way for lots of discussion."--The Booklist Magazine
