Miss Wondergem's Dreadfully Dreadful Pie

by Valerie Sherrard, Wendy Whittingham (Illustrator)

Miss Wondergem's Bakery, coming quite soon! In fact, it will open tomorrow at noon! There's a brand new bakery in town, and no one could be happier about it than Verna, Myrna and Bradley McGrew. As much as they love their mother, the McGrew children dread what comes out of her kitchen--and with very good reason. But when the three young McGrews meet the new bakery's owner, they're in for a most unpleasant surprise.

About the author

I was born in 1957 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and grew up in various parts of Canada. My dad was in the Air Force so the family moved often, and was sent to live in Lahr, West Germany, when I was eleven. It was there that a teacher encouraged me toward writing. I didn't rush into it, though. It wasn't until 2002 that my first book was released, but since then I've had several dozen books for young people published.

One reason I chose to write for children and teens was my experience in working with them. Over the years I fostered about 70 teens in my home, and I also worked as the Director of a group home for teens in my community for more than a decade.

A delightful picture book! Love the whimsical illos by Wendy Whittingham and love the galloping verse that rolls of the tongue. The grossness is pretty nifty too. Another sure winner for Valerie Sherrard!
