Pizza-Pie Snowman [Paperback]

A plucky pig on a pizza run accidentally turns into a walking snowman in this comical picture book.

One snowy day, Pinky heads to town to get a pizza for himself and his mother. He must run quickly so he doesn't forget the order:Mushrooms, mozzarella cheese/Fresh tomatoes, onions, peas. When the Squirrel boys try to sidetrack him, Pinky becomes annoyed and kicks the tree they're in. The snow from the branches falls on him, and Pinky unwittingly looks like a snowman. As Pinky walks through town, EVERYONE is talking about the walking snowman! But Pinky doesn't see him, and he's much too focused on getting his pizza to stop and look for him. This very funny story has charming ink-and-watercolor paintings and most endearing characters. A sweet seasonal selection with just the right amount of toppings, perfect for a snowy storytime. —School Library Journal
