Grandpa and Me by Karen Katz is a fun little book for babies and toddlers.  It’s a lift-the-flap book showing some of the ingredients and some of the preparations necessary to make a pizza.

Cook It! by George Birkett is another great one for babies and toddlers.  The simple text leads the young reader through the process of making a pizza.

Pizza at Sally’s by Monica Wellington takes us to Sally’s Pizzeria where we learn how a pizza is prepared for the customers.  We learn about tomatoes that are grown for sauce, wheat that is grown for the crust and milk that is made into cheese. Colorful illustrations and short text make a great read for toddlers and preschoolers.

We love Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza by Philemon Sturges. It is a variation of the traditional Little Red Hen story. Duck, Dog and Cat are too busy to help Hen make the pizza, but in the end, they help in a big way!

George finds himself in some pizza mischief when he attends a pizza party in Curious George and the Pizza Party by Rey.

Little Nino’s Pizzeria by Barbour is the story of a little boy who helps his dad at the pizzeria.

“Hi, Pizza Man!” by Virginia Walter is a silly story about a little girl who pretends that different people and animals deliver her pizza to the door.

Early readers will enjoy reading The Pizza That We Made by Joan Holub.  This book is full of rhyme and rhythm for new readers.  It also makes a good read-aloud for young children.

Extra Cheese, Please! by Cris Peterson takes us on a photographic journey of mozzarella from cow to pizza.  However, those of us who live in St. Louis use Provel cheese on their pizza!

Pizza Counting by Christina Dobson will have you learning about addition and fractions.

Chef Mootza Rella by Dawn Ventola is a sweet story of a boy who wants to make a pizza for his mom.  He has to get creative since he can’t use the oven alone.
