About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the pressure to be the best or is struggling to work cooperatively in a group setting. It is an ideal choice for children who get caught up in the allure of fame or 'world records' but need a gentle reminder that the process and the people involved are more important than the final trophy. In this early chapter book, Arthur and his friends are determined to make their mark by creating the world's largest pizza. As they navigate the messy, hilarious, and often frustrating logistics of a giant cooking project, they encounter setbacks that test their patience and teamwork. It is a relatable, low-stakes story that reinforces the value of resilience and finding joy in shared effort, making it a perfect transition for readers moving into longer narratives.
