Pizza at Sally's by Monica Wellington is a charmer of a picture book.  Perfect for the smallest of pizza lovers, this book looks at where pizza comes from, the ingredients, and how it is prepared.  Add in Sally's helpful kitten and you have a real winner for small children.  The illustrations are an interesting mix of cartoons and photographs that are bright  colored and fun.  Don't limit this to only toddlers, because emerging readers will enjoy decoding the labels on the cans in the story, finding the word pizza repeated again and again, and reading the words on the street sign page.   This one is a great addition to your pizza-flavored storytimes or a cozy read at home when pizza is on the menu.

I really enjoy sharing this book with my three-year-old. There is so much to talk about in this deceptively simple book.
Just one thing that really takes away from the overall package for me - the photographs of the actual pizza have a very odd GREEN tint to the cheese on the uncooked pizza- it really looks like mold is growing under the lights they used to photograph the pizza. Does your copy look this way? I have to remind myself to never look closely because it's a bit gaggy.

Mine doesn't have any green cast to it. Just lovely creamy yellow cheese and bright red sauce. Yum!
