Theo is having one of his naughtiest, grabbiest, mouthiest days ever. While everyone else might put up with his terrible behavior, his wise grandmother knows exactly how to handle a boy who acts like a rotten old apple. She decides to bake him a pie. But this is not just any ordinary dessert. Grandmother creates a crust as big as a bedsheet and fills it with a tempting mountain of plums, cherries, peaches, pears, apples, and quince. It looks like the most delicious sweet feast ever set before a hungry boy. When greedy little Theo reaches out to take a massive bite, he quickly discovers that he has bitten off far more than he can chew. You will laugh out loud as Theo gets a taste of his own medicine in this deliciously funny tale about bad manners, giant desserts, and learning to be just a little bit sweeter.
