Besties Pizza and Taco are BACK in Book 3, putting their drawing skills--and wild imaginations--to good use writing a comic book together!

When you love comics like Pizza and Taco do, the next step after reading them is to collaborate on one!! But what happens when they run up against "artistic differences?" Who gets to have the bigger muscles and the more rad superpowers? Can these two strong-willed foodstuffs compromise and make a comic that is more awesome than the sum of its parts?

This hilarious young graphic novel--with chapters--will tickle the funny bones of kids ages 5-8 and bolster their reading confidence. Young graphic chapter books are a great step on the way to graphic novels and longer chapter books.

Readers will devour all the books in the series:
Pizza and Taco: Who's the Best?
Pizza and Taco: Best Party Ever!
Pizza and Taco: Super-Awesome Comic!
Pizza and Taco: Too Cool For School
Pizza and Taco: Rock Out!
STEPHEN SHASKAN has always loved comics—reading them and making them! He grew up reading Marvel, DC, Harvey Comics, and Mad magazine and created his first comic, Super Grandpa, when he was in elementary school. He now creates the graphic chapter book series Pizza and Taco and is super excited to be sharing all he’s learned in this special activity book. Stephen lives with his wife and frequent collaborator, Trisha Speed Shaskan in Minneapolis. Visit him at online and follow him on social media to see more Pizza and Taco content.
