Reviews / Votes
From its tongue-tantalizing title to its understated but delightful ending, Pete's a Pizza is a tour de force * School Library Journal * [Allan Ahlberg has chosen Pete's A Pizza as one of his top ten picture books, and says:] He [William Steig] wrote and illustrated this book when he was 90, I believe, which is a fact I find hugely encouraging. Also it does have one of the world's best covers ever. -- Article about Allan Ahlberg's top 10 picture books * babyccinokids.com *More details
