Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997 | Age Level: 7 and up | Series: The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #24 (Book 24)

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers.

There's a hot new pizza joint in Bailey City and Mrs. Jeepers brings the kids there for a special treat. The castle-shaped building and medieval-style costumes on the waiters are fun, but when a rumble from the kitchen shakes the restaurant's foundations, the kids get suspicious. George, the owner, says his cook is temperamental and the earth-shaking fits he has are nothing unusual, but the kids are pretty sure the owner is St. George the dragon slayer and that his cook is a captive dragon. Can the kids uncover the truth before the disgruntled cook becomes a real problem?

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon's Don't Cook Pizza, October 16, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dragons Don't Cook Pizza (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #24) (Mass Market Paperback)

Four third grade kids named Howie,Melody,Eddie,and Liza. They always have a mystery to solve. There are lots of books in this series. They are all good. In this book, the 3rd grade class went on a field trip to a bakery. They think something is very fishy. They come back that night and tryed to figure out the case out. Is the man who cooks the pizza a dragon? I like these books because they are mysteries and you get relly exited about the mystery.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dragons Don't Cook Pizza (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #24) (Mass Market Paperback)

The name of this book is Dragons Don't Cook Pizza and the authors are Debbie Dadey and Marcia Jones.

The book was awesome! Even though it's for kids younger kids than I am, I still read it.
The best part in the book is when they all work together to figure out the riddle.
The worst part was when Eddie didn't think that Dragons existed.

This book was cool, funny and exciting.
I hope whoever likes to read picks out this book and enjoys it, because it's worth your while.

This review is from: Dragons Don't Cook Pizza (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Adventures of the Bailey School Kids (Tb)) (School & Library Binding)

The Bailey School Kids, Eddie, Howie, Melody and Liza are on their way to Jewel's Pizza Castle to get pizza with their class. Mrs. Jeepers, their teacher with the Transylvanian accent, is taking them there to reward them for all the books they've read. When they get there and are situated around their table, they hear a rumble and a growl and Melody sees a fire coming from the kitchen. The owner of the Pizza Castle says it's not a problem, that he has the situation under control, but doe he? What is out in that kitchen? You will have a wonderful time reading this to your toddler and watching her squirm as you move through the story. Then, after you've read it aloud several times, you can pack the book away and save it for her to read herself when she's a little older
