Cathy Lykens
The Cheesiest Pierogi in Pittsburgh is a must have for anyone who has ever lived in or visited the "irn" city. The puns were delightful and spot on. As a Pennsylvania native, I must admit that Katie Gigliotti did a fantastic job representing Pittsburghese culture.
Very Punny!

This delightful children's book is "pierogi" packed with puns, charm, and loveable characters! The artwork is stunning-both bright and expressive, and full of little hidden jokes for the kids and the grown ups reading along. Katie clearly loves Pittsburgh as much as the punchlines! Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or anyone who appreciates a good pun and a great view of the "Burgh!
