This is a gorgeously illustrated, delightfully written children's story!Pie-Rits - A Pirate Adventure is the very charming tale of Cherry the Cupcake who is desperate to find her prince charming! Will the dashing French Bread Pierre be that Prince? Before she can find out, an adventure is to be had! As Cherry, Pierre and his flaky friend Victor set off to find the Pie-Rits and get back Pierre's dough.Julie Dweck has a wonderful knack of almost rhyming which makes the whole story flow almost like a song! Its fabulous fun and the illustrations by Fian Arroyo just make the book! They are full of colour and character, telling the story in pictures as it unfolds in words!Even though Cherry is looking for her Prince, don't go thinking this means that the book is for little girls only, it really isn't, there is enough swashbuckling fun for little boys to love as well.Pie-Rits is to be viewed on a Amazon Kindle Fire, but it can also be viewed on your laptop or tablet via Amazon Cloud, which makes it a great book to sit and read to your child, who can look at the lovely pictures as you do. I think it is only adults who lament a little the slow decline of the paper book. For a child being read a story off a screen with a beautiful vibrant illustrations is as fulfilling and fun as any story time has ever been!Quirky and funny - this book made me smile the whole way through!Katie Razberry Juice
