Pizza and Taco is Stephen Shaskan's very accessible early graphic novel franchise about two food best friends who turn everyday childhood situations into silly comic drama. The books are short, bright and built around recognisable concerns: who is best, parties, school, comics, music, sleepovers, clubs, viral videos, fear and friendship. The format is ideal for new readers who want the satisfaction of a series without heavy text. It is funny, safe, repetitive in a useful way and particularly good for children who enjoy food characters and friendship bickering.
A cheerful first graphic novel series about two food best friends navigating parties, school, comics, clubs, sleepovers and silly arguments.
