Customer Reviews

A two year old FAVORITE

When my oldest daugher was two, we read this book at least once a night. My second daughter listened to it from age 2-3 twice a night and even brought to school (and the teacher read it 7 times in a row because of the constant 'again, agains' from the class). Now my three year old son is in love with this book. We read it at least twice a night and thanks to the constant repitition, he 'reads' it too! He loves this book so much he thanks Jesus at prayer time for 'Pizza Pat and the mice'. We have probably over 400 kids books and I swear this is the most read!

Lots of fun for the preschool set

Both my 4-year-old and my 2-year-old love this book. The illustrations are wonderful and really capture Pizza Pat's emotions as he builds his pizza and later loses it to some hungry, albeit naughty, little mice. The descriptions of the ingredients used to make the pizza are silly and giggle-provoking. Even if your kids don't eat pizza, they are sure to enjoy this little book over and over again. I agree with another reviewer: reading the text with an accent definitely adds to the hilarity.

Pizza Pat is Perfect!

My 6 year old son Gib adores this book. It is beautifully illustrated, has wonderful humor, and is a challenging read. I recommend it to all pizza lovers and young readers alike!

Pizza Pat

My 21/2 year old loves this book. I read it over and over to her. Then she reads the pictures to me over and over. If your young reader likes Step Into Reading books this will be a good one. I read the words with an Italian accent and it is that much better.

Pizza Pat is a winner!

PIZZA PAT is one of the most delightful easy-reading books I have found. It is my standard gift for every child from 3 to 7. (And every time I get ready to gift wrap it, I reread it myself and chuckle.)
