Pete's a Pizza

Pete's a Pizza

Summary

Pete is in a bad mood. It's raining and he can't play out.

But never fear, Pete's dad has just the idea to cheer Pete up - turn him into a pizza! He kneads the dough, adds oil and tomatoes, and with some tickles and giggles along the way, before long the sun comes out...

A picture book classic from the creator of Shrek; a laugh-out-loud celebration of parents everywhere.

Reviews
