About this listen
Everyone loves pizza, but how was it invented? Cheese and tomatoes falling from the leaning tower? Cartloads of ingredients crashing together? Or maybe someone slipped on a puddle of water, smashing the ingredients together? These zany stories tell several different ways the world's most delectable dish might have been created. The last is a retelling of the most accepted historical account of it's actual invention, slightly altered of course, to assure that it's in keeping with the humorous tone of the other stories. Each story has different protagonists: Galileo's neighbor, a butterfly and three horse drawn carts, a pot maker, a restaurateur, an arguing couple, a suitor, a youth leaving home, a glutton, and finally, the chef in Naples, Italy, who really did invent pizza and the queen he made it for. Just so you won't be too hungry after hearing so much about tasty pizzas, there's a recipe. The characters have names based on Italian words. Excellent for parents to listen with 4-6 year-old children or for 6-10 year-old children to entertain themselves.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

A Slice of Pure Pizza Joy
Do you love pizza as much as I do? If yes, you are going to adore this children’s story book.
In this book, the author gives eight different and hilarious stories about how pizza was invented. And I’m not talking about the usual boring stuff. We’re talking cheese and tomatoes falling from the Leaning Tower of Pisa or a couple throwing dough and tomatoes at each other during a fight.
One of my favorite stories is about a hiker who squashes his lunch in his backpack and then, thanks to the sun, ends up with a perfectly cooked pizza.
The narration is pitch perfect and reminded me of story time. She does funny Italian accents for some of the bakers or peasants in the story. Plus, there are sound effects that really bring the stories to life.
This is a special book. Your children will love it and want to listen to it over and over again. I guarantee that every time you see a pizza from now on, you'll think of these stories and smile.

Fun and Cheesy Pizza History
I loved listening to this book with my daughter! This is a fun tour of the silly and surprising stories of how pizza came to be. Every chapter introduces a different theory about pizza’s history, each of them entertaining, with the last chapter offering up a plausible story that brings it all together. Plenty of pizza history nerds and history nerds in general will get a kick out of this book. It’s a fun read for anyone who loves pizza, likes to laugh, or learn a bit of trivia!

Fun Children's Book
I liked it and so did my son. He likes Pizza as we all do. We both really liked the stories and sound effects leading to the many different ways Pizza can be created. I think my son now wants us to try and make our own. A gateway book for sure. High marks!

Great Fun!
This is an excellent little audio-book! Trista Shaye does a brilliant job of narrating, using different accents for characters and great changes and intonations. It's just a light-hearted and fun book with made-up stories about where Pizza came from. Fun, silly and entertaining. Perfect for keeping the kids quiet on a car journey for a while! I enjoyed it anyway!
