The Great Pie Robbery

By Richard Scarry

We loved this book.  I laughed.  The slapstick!  Plus, there's this great scene in the restaurant (that's also featured on the front page) where all the Scarry characters are eating cherry pie at the restaurant, including Bananas Gorilla.  That's my daughter's favourite part.

 This story is a Holmes/Watson style detective story, only Holmes is a bit daft.  Maybe it's a theme that's overdone, but in this case it's done so well, so who cares!

So many sight gags.  So many silly plot twists.  I have so much love for this book.
