Secret Pizza Party

Book: Secret Pizza Party

Author/Illustrator Dynamic Duo: Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri

This one is about a raccoon that loves pizza so much he will go to extremes to get it (Why not, I say!). The plot line itself is zany enough that you might want to learn more, especially if you, like me, LOVE pizza. But Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri take this fun story and make it sing a loud, lovely vibrato kind of bring down the house song. My first favorite line said by our narrator after being too loud: “Sorry, pizza smell gives me the happy screams.” My second favorite line again by our narrator: “Sweet sassy molassy, look at all that pizza!”

You may not find piles of curriculum connections with this one, but it’s good for a laugh on a rainy day and perfect for a pizza party story.
