Charlie Piechart and the Case of the Missing Pizza Slice was a good book! I like how this book integrated math with reading. This book was about a family who order a large pizza for dinner. When they realized one slice was missing, Charlie became a detective and was determined to figure out who took the missing slice. The book explained fractions throughout the entire book and showed the fraction of the pizza that was left since one slice was missing. It should the amount each person would now get in fractions and I especially loved how at the end of the book it had a practice sheet for fractions! Did Watson, the family dog, take the missing slice of pizza? Read to find out! I would use this book in my class to teach my students about fractions! ( )

I thought this was a clever and playful story. Charlie and his family are trying to decide what toppings they want on their pizza. Each person has an opinion on what toppings they like and dislike which is presented in fractions. When the pizza arrives, Charlie has to solve the case of the missing pizza slice. I like how the author takes a simple and relatable situation like ordering pizza and winds fractions and math within the story. I also really loved the unique retro feel of the illustrations. This would be a fun, interactive book when teaching fractions. ( )
