When I first found these books I absolutely had to read them. I love pizza and I love punk rock so I was extremely intrigued to see how these two topics would be made interesting for a child (these books are board books so I would assume the intended audience is rather young).
Personally I loved the books. I even learned some facts such as the fact that the Queen consort of Italy requested nothing but pizza to eat when she visited Naples. The punk rock book even brings about philosophical debates such as whether a book about punk rock is punk rock or not and the fact that the core principle behind punk rock is about being unique, however many people who identify as punk rock dress the same.
I am going to be brutally honest in this review. I think their books are fantastic. There are others in the series that are probably equally as fantastic on the topics of Elvis Presley, coffee, cancer, and the economy. While I like the themes, facts, and fun photos in the books I think the execution is a little off. While esthetically pleasing as board books, they would probably peak the interests of more children if they were printed as regular picture books.
