Too little time, too many books. Many readers are familiar with the allure of purchasing a stunning new hardcover book, but which books are absolute must-reads? Do you want to encourage your child to read but are unsure where to begin? Get a copy of “The Pie, The Pie, and Oh That Smell!” written by Connie Smith. It is a children’s picture book that teaches children the importance of showing their appreciation for the wonderful things their parents do every day—and the fun of pitching in and helping out!

It’s the story of a mother who enjoys baking desserts like pies. Her family enjoys her pastries, but she got tired of making them one day. Her family missed the beautiful smell of her baking after she stopped cooking. But how would they express their appreciation for her? Will she prepare a special apple pie for her daughter’s birthday?

Nothing compares to the satisfaction of offering excellent book recommendations, and receiving the ideal book recommendation yourself is almost as fulfilling. Since everyone has a distinct favorite book, receiving a great book recommendation frequently seems even more amazing than just receiving a book. It feels as though someone saw right into your soul and knew. Even after years of providing and receiving book suggestions, I still get chills every time I recommend a genuinely terrific book.

“The Pie, The Pie, and Oh That Smell!” is a book that was highly praised by Michael Radon of the US Review of Books, who highlighted that “this book, with its large illustrations, colorful characters, and warm, inviting tone, not only shows kids how parents need and deserve gratitude for their efforts but also opens up the conversation about children pitching in on tasks that they may take an interest in when they are old enough to handle them.”
