| Summary |
"A Apple Pie" by Kate Greenaway is a children’s picture book published in the late 19th century. This whimsical book is known for its charming illustrations and simple narrative that follows the traditional rhyme associated with the alphabet. The book likely explores the themes of ownership and sharing through a playful and engaging story centered around the beloved treat, apple pie. The book presents a sequence where each letter of the alphabet is personified, with characters interacting with the apple pie in various ways. Starting with "A" who represents apple pie, each subsequent letter takes part in an action related to the pie, such as "B" biting it, "C" cutting it, and so forth, culminating with all the characters enjoying a large slice and going off to bed. The visual storytelling, combined with the rhythmic text, makes it an enjoyable read for young children, emphasizing the joy of sharing and the importance of each letter in the alphabet.
