A Apple Pie

A has an apple pie—and B is already biting it. How many letters can get a taste before the pie is gone?

In this late-nineteenth-century nursery rhyme, Kate Greenaway makes the alphabet a merry parade around a tempting treat. A begins with the pie, B bites, C cuts, and the letters keep the playful action moving, one after another. With its simple rhythm and lively pictures, the rhyme turns a familiar lesson into a small comic drama of appetites and sharing. But when the whole alphabet gathers round, will there be a slice for everyone?
