Pete the Cat decided to throw the perfect pizza party. He invites all his friends, and the fun is about to begin when suddenly they realize that each one's idea of a perfect pizza may be different than the others.
Oh Pete the Cat... I'm honestly shocked my daughter loves these books so much. The art is not the finest and is rather simplistic, the authors use words/phrases like "groovy" and "out of sight" which she doesn't really hear except, well, in Pete the Cat books, but she just delights in all of Pete's antics.
It's a cute book. If you're trying to read it at a fairly quick pace, I suggest reading it a few times to get a rhythm to it before trying it aloud. It's repetitive, but the amount of alliteration you'll encounter by the last couple of pages is rather impressive.
My daughter finds this one funny, and loves the endpapers which show a bunch of... interesting alternate pizza choices including smelly socks. While it may not be the finest of the Pete books, it does make for a fun read and one apparently required any time we decide to eat pizza. 3/5 stars

Pete the Cat returns in this eleventh full-sized picture-book devoted to his adventures, this time inviting all of his friends over for a pizza party. Our feline hero has definite ideas about what makes the perfect pizza - cheese and pepperoni, in his case - but each of his friends has their own favorite topping. Can Pete keep his cool, when each new idea is mentioned...?
Although not the best of the
Pete the Cat picture-books (I tend to prefer the early ones, written by Eric Litwin),
Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party is engaging enough, and is sure to appeal to fans of this cool cat. I appreciated the message about learning to adapt, when our friends have their own ideas about the perfect snack (or activity, or anything else), and the artwork is as bright and colorful as ever. Unlike some of the more recent holiday-themed
Pete the Cat books (which are smaller than these regular picture-books), this one didn't feel as much like coattail-riding. Recommended to fans of Pete the Cat.

Different toppings on the pizza. Creative. About time he discovered pizza.

So cute and very alliterative :-D Perfect for helping a kid with speech while conveying an important life lesson.
Read as part of my new "Settle back Sunday" initiative where I take advantage of access to children's books I can borrow and give back. When I was a kid, the weekly trips to our town library were some of the few things I loved about my childhood. And the pile of books mom would bring home, from picture books to chapter books, were the things that got me through many a terrible time.

I enjoy children’s books and I usually read a couple of Amazon prime picture books each month. While I like Pete the Cat, this book in the series, was not a favorite. The entire book was repetitious. Each page built on the first, adding another topping for a pizza. It was cute, but maybe I missed something by reading it alone. I might have found it a lot more amusing, if I read it with a couple of silly, giggling children.
4 stars

Pete the Cat hosts a pizza party.
Pete the Cat has a pizza party, and he and his friends disagree about what toppings make the perfect pizza. The result is a pepperoni, pretzel, pistachio, pickle, popcorn, papaya pizza. The moral looks like it will be
too many chefs spoil the soup, but instead it is
"the perfect pizza is a pizza shared with friends".
The endpapers show even wackier pizza toppings such as watermelon, cupcakes, and smelly socks.

This is a cute story about Pete making pizza and combining it with a party. He starts with a basic pepperoni pizza and his friends want to add some unusual toppings. Kids will enjoy it. Colorful illustrations make this one lots of fun. Highly recommended for Grades K-2.

Just like all the more recent PtC books, it's decent but not outstanding.

Cute Pete story with all the friends adding their favorite toppings to try something new. Envisioning a lesson with students creating their own pizza with same initial consonant toppings!

I loved this book but of course, I love pizza! I think that my favorite part of the book was the different types of pizza on the end pages!

Just because your friends eat weird things doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. You just might like it.

I'm using this for a music storytime today, but it could fit in to lots of themes - food, friendship, trying new things, the letter P.
Long may Pete the Cat reign

Cute & FunAs always with Pete the Cat, this is a charming children's book that feels somehow both retro and timeless. I didn't find this one quite as enjoyable as the others I've read, but it was still cute and had a nice message about friendship and trying new foods.
