Description
An Italian visitor bemoans the unavailability of pizza until some thoughtful girls enable her to make some.
Quick Summary
This is a sweet little story about an Italian visitor who misses pizza so much she practically sighs every time she looks at the bland food around her, and two clever girls who decide to help her out. Kids who love food stories, cooking, or tales about kindness will get a kick out of watching these girls figure out how to pull off a pizza surprise. It's simple and lighthearted without being preachy, and the ending hits just the right note for the K-3 crowd. Parents will appreciate that it sneaks in a small lesson about helping others without hammering it over their heads. If your kid enjoyed similar picture books about friendship and problem-solving, this one's a quick, satisfying read with an AR level that makes it accessible for early readers tackling chapter books for the first time.
