Dragon Pizzeria by Mary Morgan

This book is about two dragons that decide to open a pizzeria but they will only deliver pizzas in Fairy Tale Land. They get calls from different Fairy Tale characters with specific pizza orders. At the end of the book, an order is made for a pizza wedding cake and everyone in Fairy Tale Land comes together for a party.

I like this book because it can be interactive. The children can try to guess which fairy tale creature is ordering a pizza by the type of pizza they order. For example, the first pizza order is made by someone with a booming voice and he orders 1 GIANT pizza, with a topping of magic beans delivered to Beanstalk Castle. The children can try to guess which fairy tale this is and when they turn the page, they realize that it is Jack and the Beanstalk. Other fairy tales in the story include Thumbelina, The Three Bears, Hansel and Gretel, and Sleeping Beauty.

This is a fun book to read because the text isn't boring. There are a lot of conversation bubbles and there is text that can be read off signs that the dragons made. At the end of the book, there is a map of Fairy Tale Land which shows where are the fairy tale characters live. As a child, I remember reading books with those "extra things" and loving it.

Another thing I like about this book is that the author is also the illustrator so she was able to incorporate the text into the pictures and make it really interactive for children. There is also a lot of humor shown in the pictures that isn't explicitly in the text so it is important to study the pictures to get the most out of the book.
