Pie for Chuck

Big Chuck is a woodchuck with a taste for pie. He daydreams about warm, flaky pastries and their fruity filling. When he spots a freshly baked blueberry pie cooling on the windowsill, he must have it. Chuck can't reach high enough, so he recruits his friends to help. Maybe Raccoon or Rabbit can get the pie? It takes some impressive -- and athletic -- teamwork for Chuck and his friends to reach the ledge, but their reward is so sweet! An I Like to Read® book for emerging readers. Guided Reading Level C.
Pat Schories is the illustrator of the bestselling Biscuit books as well as the author-illustrator of four wordless picture books about a dog named Jack, one of which appeared on the Texas 2 x 2 Reading List and was a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year. She lives in Hopewell Junction, New York.
"A first-rate book that is as ideal for a picture book audience as for a one-on-one solitary read."—School Library Journal
 
"This short, cheerful tale of cooperation from Schories features engaging artwork and animal protagonists, and it operates on a very approachable level for beginning readers . . . The words have pure drive to them, and the repetition calls forth an incantatory urge to speak the words out loud. Fine for a read-alone but like dynamite for a read-aloud."—Kirkus Reviews
