5.0 out of 5 stars Cute and silly story
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020

This is a cute and silly story about a mouse who finds a slice of pizza and brings it home to its family. The illustrations are engaging and help tell the story. The text is decodable and follows a pattern. This is a good book for kids who are reading end of kindergarten or early 1st grade. I am a 1st grade teacher. One of my students read this book so many times it rapidly went from brand new to used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Loves Pizza
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017
In a wonderful example of art imitating life, Michael Garland has written Pizza Mouse, the story of a city mouse on the lookout for food. Similar to the Pizza Rat from the viral YouTube video, this brave mouse eventually makes his way home on the subway. Before he can do that, he has to survive dogs, cats, people, cars, and birds, while trying to find dinner for his family. At last he can take the A train back to his mouse hole.

This is written in an easy style with only one or two sentences per page. Many of the words and phrases repeat, making it easier for beginning readers to recognize them. The humans in the illustrations are from a variety of racial backgrounds and careers. It is just the mix of people one would expect to encounter in a large city. The illustrations show a city with New York neighborhoods and skylines, although the city is not named.

Young readers will probably cheer for the protagonist as he avoids the teeth or beaks of larger animals, and the broom of an angry shopkeeper. The scene with the mouse carrying off a roll from a fancy restaurant could cause appreciative laughter. And even though life in a big city is tough, the mouse is matter of fact about it. "No one likes mice...I am a mouse. So what?"

Highly recommended for early readers who love animals and pizza.

I received a copy from the publisher for review purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars I shrieked
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017
I shrieked when I saw this book. I was envious that I didn't think to write it. Haha. Everyone in NYC knows the infamous rodent that was DV'd carrying a pizza slice on the steps of an East Village subway staircase, but Michael Garland actually wrote about it. With richly coloured depictions of a very diverse New York City, we follow a confident mouse as it forages for food at a fancy restaurant, at the Manhattan bridge, at a garbage can (where red and white soup can is branded for Andy Warhol), and other locations. The mouse gets shoo'ed away and avoids a hawk and traffic, and finds respite in a pizza box. Finding a slice, the mouse descends into the subway system, takes the A train, and feeds the family.
