For our first piece of pie this month, here is a cool video that interprets the lyrics of this famous song, recorded and released by singer-songwriter Don McLean in 1971.
"American Pie" was named the number five song of the 20th century by the Songs of the Century educational project, because of its importance to America's cultural and musical heritage.
BTW, what were you doing in 1971?

Olive, the Other Reindeer was originally published in 1997, and this new Deluxe Edition marks the tenth anniversary of this Christmas favorite.
As Olive the dog was listening to the radio, she heard a song about “Olive, the other reindeer” and realized that she must be a reindeer after all. She immediately headed to the North Pole. Even though she was a dog, Santa gave Olive a chance, and she joined the other reindeer in pulling the sleigh. At the end of their long night, Olive used her keen sense of smell to help guide Santa’s sleigh back home. To her surprise, Santa’s Christmas gift to Olive was her very own set of antlers.
This new edition is loaded with tons flaps to lift, tabs to pull, and fragrant scratch and sniff panels. There is an amazing pop-up “grand finale” at the end of the book, too! Children will fall in love with this new version of Olive, the Other Reindeer, just as they did the original.
