"A visual feast. . . .The electricity of the paintings will draw children back for a second look." --School Library Journal

Working together at a family pizzeria goes from cozy to chaotic when the business expands and becomes a big fancy restaurant. No matter how he tries to be helpful, little Tony is now always in the way. He misses Little Nino's. But so does someone else--his dad! And in a delightful twist, this simply worded read-aloud delivers a thoughtful message about what success and family are all about.
Storyline connects easily to curriculum on neighborhoods, community, and economics.

Review:

"The scenes are full of visually boisterous activity, with under-pinnings of humorous detail and a clear sense of family closeness so important to the story. A decidedly fresh-looking book."--Booklist

"A visual feast . . .The electricity of the paintings will draw children back for a second look."--School Library Journal
