  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 06/01/2015 K-Gr 2—There are worse ways to ingest the study of fractions than by reading a book about pizza, which must have been the thinking behind this extremely slight mystery. Fractions are interjected into the text at every opportunity, as when Charlie invites ¼ of his friends for dinner, which must be shared with his five family members. The small crisis when 1/12 of the pie goes missing is resolved when Charlie's improbably magnanimous parents content themselves with 1 ½ slices apiece. The retro-spectrum digital illustrations are serviceable, just like the math lesson. VERDICT Less peppy than pepperoni.—Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Library, NY - Copyright 2015 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission. Loading...
