Pizza with Everything on It
Written By Kyle Scheele
Illustrated by Andy J. Pizza
Chronicle Books, 2021. Picture Book.

In this delightful picture book, a young boy asks his dad, a pizza shop owner, to make him a pizza with everything on it. You may think of a loaded, supreme pizza, but no, he wanted EVERYTHING on the pizza. They add exciting toppings to their pizza-including the White House. They add so many toppings that the pizza collapses on itself and becomes a black hole. The black hole explodes and covers everything with pizza. The boy and his dad fly through pizza space to an earth made out of pizza. They end up at their pizza shop (also made out of pizza) and enjoy the perfect pizza together. The illustrations in this book are vibrant and amusing. Children will love perusing each page to see the interesting pizza toppings. The adventure that this father and son encounter is both fun and surprising.
