Reach for this book when your child is ready to transition from being read to into becoming a reader themselves, or when they are deep in the 'pretend play' phase of development. Shanna's Pizza Parlor follows a young, confident girl as she takes charge of her own imaginary restaurant, serving up silly and creative toppings to her stuffed animal friends. It celebrates the logic of a child's imagination where red beans and jelly beans belong on the same menu. For parents, this is a perfect choice to build reading confidence because it uses rhyme, repetition, and vibrant visual cues. It supports preschoolers and early kindergartners in seeing themselves as capable 'doers' and leaders of their own play-worlds.
