Hi, Pizza Man! by Virginia Walter illustrated by Ponder Goembel The kids always laugh when the pizza gets tickled. It’s a sweet story about a shared family game. When Pete’s plans to play ball with his friends are cancelled by the rain, his father decides to cheer him up by turning him into a pizza: kneading the dough, tossing it in the air, applying toppings (which are really checkers and pieces of paper), and cooking him in the oven (the couch). This is one of my all-time favorite storytime books. I based it heavily on Storytime Kate’s Pizza storytime, with a few tweaks. Today was beautiful though, and we had a great time with this theme. But our area got hit by a series of atmospheric rivers, which turned our outdoor storytime area into a marsh for several weeks. I had planned to do this storytime right after New Year’s, in honor of National Pizza Week (January 8 through 14).
