Pete's a Pizza - William Steig

Just when Pete is about to go out and play ball, it starts to rain. What's the quickest way to cheer him up? Turn him into a pizza, of course. This contemporary classic, with lively watercolor-and-ink illustrations and hilarious text, is now available as a sturdy board book. nPete's father starts kneading the dough. Next, some oil is generously applied. (Its really water.) And then some tomatoes. (They're really checkers.) When the dough gets tickled, it laughs like crazy.
