Peyton Picks the Perfect Pie

This humorous and heart-warming story from the creators of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs celebrates the love of cooking and helps children overcome their fear of trying new foods and includes an ATK recipe for the perfect pie.
Peyton is particular. But she''s not picky. Grownups use that word a lot. Picky. Picky. Picky. It''s never a good thing. And it''s not fair. Peyton likes dogs and cats, scooters and bikes, pools and beaches. And Peyton likes to try new things. She recently mastered long division in math class and loves to practice the saxophone--as long as her adorable dog Mila doesn''t howl! But Peyton is particular when it comes to food. Peyton doesn''t like it when two foods touch on her plate. Peyton doesn''t like green foods. Or orange foods. Or red foods. Peyton doesn''t like foods that are gooey or gummy, sticky or slimy, frosted or flaky. And Peyton most definitely doesn''t like chunky or lumpy foods.

Thanksgiving is our most universal holiday, beloved by adults and children. But Thanksgiving can also be a challenge for young eaters who struggle with new tastes and new experiences. Peyton is the hero of this food lover''s tale and she is determined to confront her fear of new foods by finding a Thanksgiving pie she truly likes, even if it''s flaky, lumpy, or chunky.
