Humble Pie

Set in medieval times, this story introduces readers to Theo, a completely spoiled rotten, lazy, selfish little boy. Finally one day, when Theo has eaten his baby brother's birthday cake, his grandmother bakes a huge humble pie, and with a magic rhyme pops Theo inside. And getting out is not easy! Author Jennifer Donnelly combines medieval fable and modern wit with wonderful illustrations by Minnesota's Stephen Gammell to make this a winner.
