Review:
''This delightful board book presents the alphabet in the form of a story in which a mischievous puppy attempts to get his paws on an apple pie... As well as an entertaining tale, it is an inventive way to help familiarise children with the alphabet.' * Nursery Education * The bold, retro artwork is colourful and attractive and the story is full of humour * The Best New Children's Books 2015 * 'Alison Murray's Apple Pie ABC coaxes an old text into brilliant new life, with each page showing the same puppy slavering over a delicious-looking pie before finally giving way to temptation. Rarely can the alphabet have been presented in a more child-friendly way.' * Independent on Sunday *
