Books for Topics just posted a wonderful review of As Nice as Pie by Gary Sheppard and illustrated by Tim Budgen:
‘We really enjoyed this story about a kindly old lady called Mavis who defies reader expectations by taking her fate into her own hands! When the many birds visiting Mavis begin to take advantage of her hospitality, Mavis promises a big surprise in the form of a gigantic pie. The birds are not the only ones surprised by the humorous plot turn in this story, with the narrative taking the reader on a twisty-turny journey along with Mavis as she teaches the birds a lesson and follows her own dreams to open a successful pie shop. Coupled with colourful illustrations that brightly capture all different kinds of garden birds, this is a picture book that is sure to get children laughing, talking and thinking!’
