Pete's a Pizza

Pete's a Pizza is a 1998 children's book by author-illustrator William Steig, released by Harper Collins. It tells of a boy who is in a bad mood, but is then turned into a pizza by his father.

Kirkus Book Reviews wrote: "What leaps from the page, with a dancer’s grace, is the warmth and imagination wrapped in an act of kindness and tuned- in parenting. As always, Steig’s illustrations are a natural—an organic—part of the story, whether Pete’s a pizza, or not."^[1] Publishers Weekly commented that the story was simple, and concluded that "amiable quality of Steig's easy pizza recipe will amuse chef and entree alike".^[2] Similarly, Common Sense Media called the story simple, and stated that the artwork was a "light wash of watercolor", complimenting the illustration of the characters' faces.^[3]
