Salad Pie - a Literary Lunch

There is nothing better than finding the playground empty and having it all to yourself. Maggie is overjoyed. Everything is perfect for making Salad Pie. That is until Herbert arrives. Herbert wants to help make Salad Pie. But can Maggie make room for him in her game?

I love SALAD PIE written by Wendy BooydeGraaff and illustrated by Bryan Langdo because I can remember making mud pies and salad pies when I was little. My daughter likes making salad soups in the backyard and the concept of this book is just a reminder of growing up. But besides salad pie this book is also about friendship. Maggie is not thrilled at first when Herbert wants to join. But little by little she realizes that two cooks make a fantastic Salad Pie.

We made our own Salad Pie in our Three-in-One ECOlunchbox:

• about 19 spinach leaves
• 6 snow peas
• 2 "crab apple" radishes
• 2 radish halves
• 11 blueberries
• 9 roasted chick peas and
• 3 cracker "sticks"
