Books like Pizza!: A Slice of History
By Greg Pizzoli
For the kid who already has opinions about pepperoni versus cheese, this book turns their favorite food into a full-blown investigation. Playful, fact-packed, and genuinely hungry-making.
A wacky crew of hippos, cats, pigs, and cows count from a quiet One all the way up to a LOUD LOUD LOUD Ten — then back down to quiet One again.
Seven quirky dinosaurs — including zooming Zoomer, sleepy Dozy, and weepy Sob — take turns starring in their own tiny tabbed story, each with a personality all its own.
A ravenous little mouse sits down to lunch and can't stop eating, working his way through a crisp white turnip, orange carrots, yellow corn, and green peas until his belly is bulging.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
The numbers 1 through 100 race each other up an apple tree in a rhyming chant, piling higher and higher until bumblebees threaten trouble at the top.
A collection of children's own definitions for everyday things — a hole is to dig, a face is so you can make faces — told in the funny, backwards logic only kids have.
Bold die-cut shapes stack and overlap page after page, transforming circles, squares, and triangles into nine recognizable zoo animal faces right before your eyes.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A book with no pictures forces whoever reads it aloud to say every ridiculous word on the page — including BLORK, BLUURF, and a song about eating ants for breakfast.
The Cat in the Hat whisks Sally and Dick on a rhyming tour of outer space, unpacking facts about the sun, moon, planets, and astronauts along the way.
On a scorching day, Junie and Jake, Poppa, and the baby set off for the lake in a rattling, wheezing car that doesn't go fast and doesn't go far.
