It has been movie after movie. Although I haven't read a book since The Life of Pi, I decided to do an old favorite: Pickle-Chiffon Pie by Jolly Roger Bradfield. With a name like Jolly how could it not be, well jolly? It is absolutely adorable, a family favorite that will truly become a family favorite of yours as well. Although I currently do not have the book, I intend to own it one day to read as a bedtime story. The trouble is finding it at a bookstore!
It is the story of a King who has a beautiful Princess daughter and a love of pickle-chiffon pie. Princes from every court come to the Princess in hopes of winning her love. To be polite she asks them to stay for dinner, meaning less pickle-chiffon pie for the King. The King dreams up a challenge for three princes. Each Prince is to go throughout the Kingdom and find the most amazing creature to win the heart of the Princess. On the way you will see a juggling lion, sewing mice and many other spectacular creatures. In the end, you learn about compassion and a kind heart.
