About this title

About the Author:

John Galligan and his wife Jinko Naganuma, along with their two sons, Sam, 5, and Joe, 8, are the creative team responsible for "Oh, Brother! said the Mother of Tony Pepperoni. The family currently lives in Madison, WI. They are at work on a second book.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-There are so many problems with this book that it is hard to know where to begin. Tony Pepperoni doesn't like ordinary food, so his family members suggest weird and wacky concoctions for him. Toward the end of the story, readers are introduced to a cast of characters, including Jos‚ Maria Corn Tortilla and Wan Xai Lychee Pie. The only African-American character is Hilary (Hoss) Barbeque Sauce. The page design seems thrown together and has no continuity, and the book looks like it was written and illustrated by children. Additionally, the rhyming is forced and unimaginative. Skip this one.
