Description

In this cheesy, a-dough-rable novelty board book shaped like a pizza, parents can share how much they love their little ones in the form of tasty pizza toppings!

"If Margaret Wise Brown had deigned to use pizza ingredients instead of bunnies to work out her parenting issues, this might be the outcome. . . . The book teaches the very young the layers of pizza, the love of cooking, and how to express themselves. It is really very endearing. The happiest little book, this one will have everyone giggling at story hours and please, bring lunch." --School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

I love you so much,
where to begin?
Inside and out,
through thick crust and thin.

Kids will love this delicious board book, shaped like a pizza, in which love for them is expressed through favorite pizza toppings! Parents can show how mush-room in their heart they have in their heart for the little one, and how they pepper-only have eyes for them!

Praise for A Pizza My Heart (A Shaped Novelty Board Book for Toddlers) (Delish Delights)

If Margaret Wise Brown had deigned to use pizza ingredients instead of bunnies to work out her parenting issues (really, Runaway Bunny? It's a book about stalking, or at the very least, never understanding boundaries), this might be the outcome. "I love you so much,/ where to begin?/ Inside and out . . ./ thick crust or thin." The rolling pin bats its eyes and says "A-dough-able" at the parent-substitute, a smiling pizza crust, yet to be topped, in the pan. The puns come fast and hard, as a tomato declares its love from head "to-ma-toes," and yes, "you're so grate!" really happens, and new readers who sound out words will be on to that one. Spelling confusion aside, the book teaches the very young the layers of pizza, the love of cooking, and how to express themselves. It is really very endearing. The happiest little book, this one will have everyone giggling at story hours and please, bring lunch.
