Summary: Review of Enemy Pie
Review: A kid that the author doesn't name (so you can pretend it is you) was having a perfect summer until a boy named Jeremy Ross moved into a house down the street and became enemy #1. Find out how the boy gets over Jeremy in Enemy Pie.
I realy liked this book because this Washington state author used detail and really described the characters. The illustrator really brought the characters to life with bright colors. And the morale of the book is don't judge a book by its cover. On a scale of 1-10 I Would give this book an 8.

Summary: Enemy Pie
Review: Enemy Pie is a delightfully written book on a not often covered subject. The build up in thle plot is so well done, developing the story at just the right pace. The little boy's feelings are easy to identify with.
I really enjoyed the way this book is illustrated, capturing the mood of the story.
I will be donating a copy of "Enemy Pie" to my grandchildren's school library.
Thank you Derek Munson and Tara Calahan King for such a great contribution to childrens literature.

Summary: share the pie
Review: Enemy pie is a terrific story told through the eyes of a young boy. It is a story about how to make friends, and how enemies are unmade. The illustrations successfully complement the intention of the book. As suburban america grows, we need to have stories that show our children how to relate to others, especially to newcomers to our neighborhoods. Munson is an elegant and creative author... I look forward to his next offerings.

Summary: Delicious! A great book!
Review: I had the opportunity to hear Derek read his picture book "Enemy Pie" at Borders Storytime. The children in the audience, including myself and my own children--a 6 year old and a 9 year old loved this book. Derek's words are very poetic and his book is entertaining. It's quite a long picture book at 40 pages, but the story moves quickly and covers a lot of ground. I bought Enemy Pie and have enjoyed reading it out loud. I highly recommend it. The illustrations are bright and vivid. I can't wait for Derek's next books which he said are in the beginning stages. Yippee!! :-)

Summary: My sister and I love this book- Kindergarten and 4th grader
Review: I whole-heartedly recommend this story. Mr. Munson and Ms. King do a wonderful job of both entertaining and teaching a life lesson. The short of this story is that we fear the unknown and resist change. Mr. Munson artfully points out that enemies (not just childhood enemies) are more likely friends you just don't know yet. This book speaks well to today's youth and cleverly provides children a cornerstone for developing relationships.

Summary: EVERY CHILD DESERVES A PIECE OF ENEMY PIE!
Review: In a simple, fun and charming way the author serves us an intriguing slice of conflict resolution using ingredients of humor and compassion that every child can relate to.

This excellent book is well suited to the Fall when children head back to school and, when encountering new faces, themselves face the sometimes difficult task of assimilating, resolving conflicts and building relationships.

I recommend this easy to read book with its curious and interesting characters to preschoolers through 2nd graders.

Summary: Terrific book for reading or reading aloud!
Review: This book is fun to read. It is a great story full of characters that are easy to relate to. It has reality, sillyness and a bit of suspense. I read to children in classrooms and have found this book to be both entertaining and insightful. The story it self keeps the group interested and when its done the discussion afterwards shows that they got the idea. I highly reccomend this book.
