Papa Pizza Mouse

One small New York City mouse takes on one large pizza slice to bring his family the feast of a lifetime.

Life is a challenge for a city mouse looking out for his city mouse children. Dogs, cats, and people are daily dangers. But when the whiskered hero of this story uncovers one of the greatest treats New York City has to offer a forager—a discarded slice of pepperoni pizza—the danger is all worth it! It’s up to the tiny Pizza Mouse to get the slice safely home to his family . . . via the A train, of course! 


Now a bite-sized board book, Papa Pizza Mouse offers new families their first chance to bond over a love of New York, pizza, and a NYC slice that is worth fighting for. Inspired by the viral Pizza Rat video of 2015.
