Peyton Picks the Perfect Pie

A humorous and heart-warming story from the creators of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs.

Peyton is particular. But she's not picky. Grown-ups use that word a lot. Picky. Picky. Picky. It's never a good thing. And it's not fair. Peyton likes dogs and cats, scooters and bikes, pools and beaches. And Peyton likes to try new things. She recently mastered long division in math class and loves to practice the saxophone—as long as her adorable dog, Mila, doesn't howl! But Peyton is particular when it comes to food. Peyton doesn't like it when two foods touch on her plate. Peyton doesn't like green foods. Or orange foods. Or red foods. Peyton doesn't like foods that are gooey or gummy, sticky or slimy, frosted or flaky. And Peyton most definitely doesn't like chunky or lumpy foods.

In the United States, Thanksgiving is our most universal holiday, and it's beloved by adults and children alike. But Thanksgiving can also be a challenge for young eaters who struggle with new tastes and new experiences. Peyton is the hero of this food lover's tale, and she is determined to confront her fear of new foods by finding a Thanksgiving pie she truly likes, even if it's flaky, lumpy, or chunky.

Find out which pie is perfect for Peyton and mark the holiday with a story about food, friendship, and family. A cast of memorable characters joins Peyton to celebrate Thanksgiving around a larger-than-life dining room table. It's a raucous meal with something for every reader (and an ATK recipe for the perfect pie!).
