Pizza Melts Down

Pizza is having a party! Pepperonis, mushrooms, mozzarella, onions, and olives all rush in, ready to go! As more and more toppings arrive and the party gets jumping, suddenly everything is too hot, too loud, too chaotic, and way too much for Pizza. Cheese starts to bubble. Toppings start to tumble. Big feelings ooze everywhere, and Pizza melts down! How did he lose his cool? What can Pizza do to chill out, reset, and get back to having fun?

Pizza Melts Down helps kids understand that huge emotional outbursts can happen to everyone. But with advance planning, you can return to a more relaxed, comfortable place and get your groove back on!
