I absolutely love this book!

I had this book when I was a little girl and it's always been my favorite kids book! I'm in the process of getting one to read to my kids also. Seeing the cover on here takes me back 20 years and that's very cool :)

After all these years!

This was, without question, my favorite book from childhood. I lost track of it and have been searching for a replacement for over 10 years now. I haven't had much success. All I'd found were some tattered old copies that were extremely overpriced. When I saw the deal Amazon was offering I couldn't believe it. I bought it immediately and it arrived in mint condition. It took me right back to my younger days and now I'm sharing it with my 8 year old son, who loves it, too. What a fantastic purchase I made with this one. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this fun and unique story to anyone and everyone! You can't go wrong with this one. :o)

The Platinum Standard

A reprint of a children's classic - entertaining storyline, whimsical illustrations, timeless moral lessons. It recently captured and held the attention of my son's entire kindergarten class as effectively as it did mine over 40 years ago. The lesson: compassion and thoughtfulness is worthy of the biggest rewards in life.

sweet book

My four year old is not old enough to read this one by himself, but what a great lesson! It has humor that he understands and a moral (a giving heart is more important than stuff) that makes me happy to read it again and again.

One of my absolute favorites as a child

I've looked for this book for years, wanting to read it to my own children. How lucky I am that it has been republished and that I still have children young enough to properly enjoy it, and how sad that my older children missed it when they were in the prime audience age range!

This is a beautiful, thoroughly enchanting story which illustrates how woefully wrong it is to sacrifice the well being of others in striving for your own personal joy and success. I recall how taken I was with the colony of artist mice painting mini masterpieces and the pie making creature, how much I would have wanted them for my own even without the promise of a princess' hand in marriage (or prince's for that matter, though at age six I wasn't interested in either) as a reward. I was awed by Bernard's show of respect for creatures I would have had difficulty recognizing as anything other than toys before learning they had lives and purposes of their own. Some people go through their entire lives without learning that.

Pickle-Chiffon Pie is a story without a villain. No fighting, no bloodshed, but still exciting and fast-moving. It is a tale that stretches the imagination: the reader must accept a juggling lion (six cans of root beer at once!) and a sixteen-foot Gazoo. Not a hard assignment for a child, but perhaps a bit more difficult for a wordly grown-up.

Take heart, you staid elders. The story has elements running throughout that should appeal to adults as well as children (how 'bout mice that paint in the fashion of Picasso, Matisse, Grant Wood and even Toulouse Lautrec?) because the author knew that if a story IS A REALLY GOOD ONE, parents everywhere would be commanded by their children to read it aloud again and again. And maybe even once more...
