Our review
Best friends Pizza and Taco turn a casual question about who is best into a debate and a vote among Hot Dog, Hamburger, and their other friends. Because both competitors share the same favorite activities, their campaign reveals how quickly friendly comparison can make ordinary differences feel like a contest.
Choose it for a new graphic reader who recognizes the thrill and irritation of competing with a friend. The simple dialogue and short chapters keep the social problem visible. Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea builds friendship through contrasting temperaments and shared adventures; Pizza and Taco focuses directly on popularity, voting, and whether winning is worth straining the friendship.
Before you buy it
The friends compete for popularity and say hurtful things before repairing the relationship; the food-character jokes include some gross-out humor.
