Greg Pizzoli

A Slice of History

From Geisel Award-winning author Greg Pizzoli comes a hilarious and mouth-watering history of pizza.

Did you know that we eat 350 slices of pizza every second? Or that in Sweden there is pizza with curry powder and peanuts? Many think that Italians invented pizza, but was it actually the Greeks or Persians? All over the world, people love pizza, but where did it really come from? And how many ways can you enjoy it?

Follow Pizza Rat across the world as he narrates the hunger-inducing history of pizza, written and illustrated by the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator Greg Pizzoli. Bursting with color, flavor, and fun facts, Pizza: A Slice of History is all about pizza's long and delicious past.

Greg Pizzoli is the creator of the Baloney and Friends series as well as a three-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Award recipient for The Watermelon Seed (Medal winner), The Book Hog (Honor book), and Good Night Owl (Honor book). He is also the author-illustrator of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book The Impossible True Story of Tricky Vic: The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower. He lives in Philadelphia, where he eats a lot of pizza.

Inquiring young minds surely ponder the origins of the gastronomic social leveler, and this title brings them up to speed

Readers learn from the neon-bright pages of "Pizza! A Slice of History," a picture book by Greg Pizzoli, who, given his name, might have been born with an appetite for the subject. Light and chatty, with blocky illustrations in four culinary colors, the book takes readers ages 3-8 through the origins and attributes of a beloved foodstuff.

Geisel Award Winner Pizzoli serves up fun in this high-interest helping for early readers.

A tasty overview of a popular dish... Flavoring the concise yet fun narrative is the deliciously inspired palette dominated by red, green, and white that evokes both the Italian flag and pizza itself. Budding cooks, dedicated eaters, and culinary historians will relish the presentation.
