Would be a great preschool or early elementary book to teach steps of a process/task.
This is a book about making pizza.
That is my review.
That is my review.
In this companion book to Soup Day, this picture book follows a boy and his father as they spend the day together while his mother is off at her job away from home. I don't know patient younger readers will be with the book or all the steps of making a pizza that are described here, but I enjoyed the details and the fact that they found many of the ingredients for their meal in their garden. The added delights of whiling away the time by playing games outside makes it evident that this father is

This book about making a pizza wasn't all that great to me. But holy moley did Woods (4) love it. I mean, I had to keep renewing and checking that thing out from the library. Why did he love it?? I have no idea. Kids are weird. Out of all the books there a simple book about a day in the life of a child making a pizza wouldn't have been my bet. But looking back I can see it. It's certainly an idealized view of how he probably wants life to be- at home with a parent all day. Playing with his dog.

I really enjoyed this book because it was so informative! The book talked about this little boy making pizza with his father, and I really liked how the book gave step-by-step instructions with pictures. The back cover of the book also includes more recipes and instructions! Furthermore, this is perfect for students who do not know how to read yet but are curious to learn! I can definitely see myself reading this book aloud as a way to try and get to know my students and their family life a litt

Okay, I like the process that the story goes through to make the pizza with child and father. I will use this in storytime programs for sure because it brings in some good info here with the different steps involved. But... WHY OH WHY is it that they put carrots into the tomato sauce they are making for the pizza? I don't get it. Is it a vegetable soup pizza? I am perplexed.

Lots of families have traditions - this one is all about pizza! Especially making pizza with ingredients fresh from the garden. Thick pages and lots of color make this book especially enticing to young eyes.
I'm hungry for pizza after reading this yummy book. This family truly make a pizza from scratch from their garden.
This book isn't exactly a board book, but the pages are sturdy and there is no jacket cover.
A recipe is at the bake of the book for the sauce and the pizza crust. ...more

Used in a storytime. I really like how the book teaches how to make a pizza, reinforces patience during process, and makes cooking a living process.
Pizza! It does have recipes.
Sweet, healthy book detailing a father-son recipe for home-grown, homemade pizza!
Fun illustrations and a fun story about how pizza is made. It's a bit long for story time, but doable with the right combination of books/songs.

A young boy and his family make pizza, from picking the vegetables in the garden, making the dough, letting it rest, etc. Recipes in back.
My five-year-old loves this book and requested that we plant a pizza garden just like in the book.
Yummy! Includes a great pizza recipe to make at home. Delightful story and bright illustrations.
Nice story about a dad making a pizza from scratch with his kid. Even has a recipe in the back of the book for you to try with your own child.
The story is a little too simple to rave about, and the sauce had maybe a few too many ingredients from their garden. Kinda weird.
I like the vocabulary and that the dad is a stay at home dad.
Mainly a story about a child and father picking things from their garden and making pizza from scratch.

A straight forward how-to-book on making pizza -- some cute little references to dough resting and sauce napping.
I liked this book very much.
