Synopsis

What do fractions have to do with pizza? The stars of the Emmy Award-winning animated series Peg + Cat serve up a delicious new episode.

It's lunchtime at Peg's Pizza Place! Peg and Cat are excited to take their first order -- from the Teens! -- only to learn that some of their customers want a whole pizza while one of them wants half a pie. How can Peg and Cat make half a pie when they don't know what half is? Luckily, Ramone and Mac are there to help, with a slice up the middle of the pizza. As more customers come in, things get entertaining, with Peg singing a jazzy song and Cat doing a dance. But soon there's another problem: four orders, but only two and a half pizzas left. Peg is totally freaking out -- until Cat reminds her that when it comes to halves and wholes, it's all in how you slice it.

About this title

Review

Peg and Cat return in a new picture book and take math into the kitchen to help solve a crisis...Illustrations of the math problems support visual learning and highlight the cast of delightful characters, from "the Teens" to Ludwig van Beethoven and Zebra Guy. A fun way to teach math from definition to application.
--School Library Journal

What better way to learn fractions than by thinking about pizza?...This book would be good for supplemental math activities, as well as a fun story for reading aloud or enjoying individually.
