Publisher Description
Everyone's favorite meal talks back in this deliciously irreverent new picture book from the creator of Splat! and Rhyme Crime
How do you eat pizza? Do you pick the biggest slice? Add hot pepper flakes? Use your hands? Do you know how your pizza slice feels about that? He thinks it's disgusting. There are so many other things you could eat -- that aren't him. Listen up. He's got ideas.
Bright, bold artwork and real-kid humor create a recipe for laugh-out-loud, finger-licking fun.
"A slice-of-life tale that delivers. Kids will eat it up." --Kirkus
"A tangy, chucklesome mix." --Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"The first thing you need to do is choose a slice," explains the unseen narrator of this culinary how-to spoof, who then admits, "I always pick the biggest!" Removed from the cheesy pie, the googly eyed pizza slice sprouts arms and legs and comments good-naturedly as it is sprinkled with chili flakes ("Ha-ha-ha. Hey, I'm ticklish!") and topped with a basil leaf ("Cute!"). But its chirpy tone melts away after it realizes what is to come. The fast-talking slice points to its crusty bottom ("No one likes the crust!") and lists the remaining pieces' virtues: one knows karate, another is musical, yet another is a perfect isosceles. But none is willing to be eaten, so they band together in an attempt to change the menu, extolling the merits of vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, peppers, etc.) and fruit (pineapple), a plan that can only backfire, as pizza fans well know. Set against bright backdrops, animated slices by Burgerman (Rhyme Crime) amplify the narrative's goofy humor, which juggles the characters' small-font asides and dramatic, large-type exclamations, making for a tangy, chucklesome mix. Ages 3 5.
