(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Trueman. Tony and his team of dough tossers attend Italy's World Pizza Championships (an actual event), where their spectacular tricks and distinctive routine earn them the gold medal. Angular illustrations, though frenetic, convey a sense of this unique sport's energy. Photos of the real-life pizzamen, pizza trivia, a dough recipe, and a tossing tutorial are appended.
