Pizza at Sally’s by Monica Wellington is one of those wonderfully happy and instructive books for toddlers and preschoolers and early elementary. Most kids love pizza, but many have no idea how to make it or where the ingredients for pizza come from. Sally owns a pizzeria, where she lovingly makes pizza every day. She grows tomatoes in the community garden, she gets cheese from the cheesemaker’s shop next door, she gets flour milled from wheat from farmers. But, that’s just the beginning, then she has to make the sauce and roll the flour into dough, and then bake the pizza. After that it’s boxed and ready for pick or delivery or to eat in her shop. The illustrations in this book are cheerful and colorful. Sally’s cat is with her all through the day and enjoys a slice of pizza with her at day’s end. A cute book with community spirit.
