Pizza Day by Melissa Iwai - ADVISABLE

Iwai, Melissa Pizza Day.  PICTURE BOOK.  Henry Holt (Macmillan), 2017.  $16.  978-1627797900

Using vegetables and herbs from their own garden, a boy and his father are getting ready to make pizza! From fresh dough to homemade sauce, the pair enjoy working together to make a delicious dinner.

The boy’s enthusiasm is very catchy.  A great look at a process, especially for children who might not often see a meal be prepared from start to finish.  I would use this as a foundation for a class to make their own pizza, if you can get permission to do such a thing.  What a great school day that would be!  Heavier pages does gave it kind of a board book feel.
