A fun way to learn a great lesson. 
I LOVE this book and my kids do as well. It is such a great tale of how to not judge a book by it's cover. Many times young people can feel threatened by a new kid in school/town/etc. This shows if you give someone a chance you may like them more than you would have realized.

A good lesson on kindness
This is a fun book that teaches a good lesson about kindness, acceptance and friendship. As an adult, I find myself judging too quickly at times, when all I really need to do is allow myself to know and understand others...and maybe share some pie with them, too : )

ENEMY PIE
What an outstanding piece of children's literature! This book reminds me of the old fashioned picture books of my youth with a modern feel. It teaches a valuable lesson without being preachy or didactic. Throughout the story a young boy struggles with a new neighbor who is not very nice. The two become sworn enemies, until, our main character, with the help of his Dad, decides to get even by serving enemy pie. While Dad bakes the pie, it is the protagonist's job to keep the enemy occipied by playing with him. Finally the pie is ready and he no longer wants to serve him the dreaded pie. After all, we don't serve our friends nasty pie, do we?

A Sweet Message
I am the chair person for our PTO's reading committee. This book was chosen for a program called building community through literature that our elementary school participates in. The gentle message of this book is that we can turn our enemies into friends and it is perfect for our young children. It's funny, sweet and simple. Our principal read it to the school on reading across America day and the kid's loved it. We purchased one for each classroom in our school. I highly recommend this book as a gentle way to teach tolerence and acceptance.
