Reader's Favorite Five Star Pick! The perfect picture book to teach kids about the joys of travel, experiencing new cultures and foods, and learning about famous monuments, landmarks, and artwork. A multicultural group of kids tell one another about the amazing places they've heard about. The only problem is they may have misheard the names and their imaginations run wild with possibilities as famous landmarks and artwork become epically delicious. This hilarious book is the perfect introduction to travel, new foods, and the wonders of the world. The Leaning Tower of Pizza, written by award-winning children’s author Derek Taylor Kent and illustrated by the diversely sourced Bright Jungle Studios, tells of a group of four children who mishear their geography and culture lessons, mistaking the Tower of Pisa for the Tower of Pizza, the Eiffel Tower for the Waffle Tower, the Great Wall of China for the Grape Wall of China, and the Mona Lisa for the Donut Lisa. This glorious mixture of fun, fantasy, and reality is not to be missed. The children start from a great sense of excitement and misunderstanding and progress to finding out the truth about the matter, becoming enlightened little armchair world travelers. Most kids are bound to love this food-drenched fantasy, no matter their gender or culture. Derek Taylor Kent and Bright Jungle Studios’ The Leaning Tower of Pizza is a fun work that teaches children to want to explore the great achievements of the world and to acknowledge that, although different countries might have different tastes (pun intended!), they all have an appreciation for grand architecture and great artworks. If you want to start your youngster off with a taste for adventure and a desire to savor the finest in life, The Leaning Tower of Pizza is a great place to begin. The use of questioning and rhyming throughout the text makes for an extremely lively read, which is enhanced by the vibrant illustrations that seem to ricochet off the pages. If this isn’t an award winner, then what is? --Reader's Favorite This is a book which holds goofy humor high-and-center and builds it in with well-known sites from around the world. The nonsense whirls to life through rhymed text, which already adds a whimsical note... Every aspect makes it clear that these pages rotate as much around fun as the information they hold. The kids tell of the amazing things they've heard about, give ridiculous reasons for why the sites are that way. All the while, they feed in a basic introduction to each place. The illustrations let the food mold seamlessly into the real structures, but still, allow enough reality to seep through, so that young readers will recognize them in real life. It's a fun way to introduce the various areas to young readers and, by coating it with humor, makes sure it never nears boring and that each one isn't so easily forgotten. --Bookworm for Kids Derek Taylor Kent is a best-selling, award-winning author of dozens of children's books, including the Scary School series published by HarperCollins and El Perro con Sombrero, which has been the #1 best-selling bilingual picture book since 2015.
