World Pizza

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ellen Shi. When Mama's wish for "world peace" is interrupted by a sneeze, she gets "world pizza" instead. Shi's engaging illustrations depict people the world over enjoying pizzas falling from the sky. Pirates drop their swords to eat pizza, angry neighbors open their doors to eat pizza, etc., until everyone goes to sleep happy. The one-note joke wears thin, though the message is a hopeful one.
