Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party by author James Dean and illustrator Kimberly Dean

Pete is throwing a pizza party however many of his friends prefer different toppings than Pete’s pepperoni. With everyone’s input, they put together a combination pizza that is pleasing to all. My Book Eyes liked seeing other activities that characters do during the party i.e. bouncy house. The art is vibrant and follows the Pete the Cat style.
