This book is good for children at a primary and intermediate level. This book is about a young girl who believes that pizza is the best food. She experiments by trying new food in the name of science. ( )

Oh my goodness! This book is positively delightful! As a woman married to an engineer (who always wants more data), I couldn't relate to a book more. What is really the best food? Is it pizza? Others say no....but how can they be wrong?

I love all of the introductions to food and cultures: dumplings, pozole, red beans and rice, bee-bim-bop. This book encourages children to get out there and try new foods! It is fantastic in that way. BIG time. And in the end, the discovery that is FAMILY that often makes our favorite food the best food. Memories attached to food. All of it plays a part. ( )

An ebullient, pizza-loving little kid realizes that while pizza is the best, there are actually lots of bests, and it's important to try them all...for science! A lovely introduction to a variety of different foods.
