Description
Mr. Steig (The Toy Brother) introduces a game guaranteed to produce a good mood. On a rainy
day, title character Pete flops down on the couch in an attitude of despair. His father notices, and
'he thinks it might cheer Pete up to be made into a pizza.' Pete allows himself to be carried into the
kitchen, where he is kneaded and tossed like dough. 'Next, some oil is generously applied. (It's
really water.)... And then some tomatoes. (They're really checkers.)' Pizza-Pete bakes on the
couch, (a.k.a. the pizza oven), but when it's time to cut slices (with a karate-chop gesture), 'the
pizza runs away and the pizza-maker chases him.' Steig evidently has played pizza before. He
substitutes talcum powder for flour and paper scraps for mozzarella; he notes that pizzas struggle
when tickled. The text resembles a set of directions, with each step wryly presented as a concise
sentence and plainly printed in sans serif capital letters. In keeping with his story's simplicity, Steig
creates compact line drawings that are detailed with wild watercolor patterns but symmetrically
placed in a spacious white background. The amiable quality of Steig's easy pizza recipe will
amuse chef and entree alike. All ages. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Read
more PreSchool-Grade 3-When Pete is in an especially bad mood because it is raining and he
can't play ball with his friends, his father decides that it might cheer his son up 'to be made into a
pizza.' The boy is placed on the kitchen table where he is kneaded, tossed, and covered with
various toppings including oil (water), tomatoes (checkers), and cheese (pieces of paper). His
mother comments that she doesn't like tomatoes, eliciting some giggles from Pete. He is then
placed in the oven (the couch) and eventually returned to the table to be sliced. At this juncture, he
runs away and is pursued by his father who captures and hugs him. By now the sun is shining and
Pete goes outside to look for his friends. The interplay between father and son is both entertaining
and endearing. The man says, after tickling Pete, 'Pizzas are not supposed to laugh!' and Pete
responds, 'Pizza-makers are not supposed to tickle their pizzas!' Steig's spare line drawings and
zany watercolor paintings are centered against a large white background. The wry text is printed in
all capital letters, making it look almost like a recipe. From its tongue-tantalizing title to its
understated but delightful ending, Pete's a Pizza is a tour de force.Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse
