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.

Produktbeschreibung
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 reading so much about tasty pizzas, there's a recipe. The characters have names based on Italian words, so a glossary is included to shed light on how they tie in with the stories. Excellent for parents to read to 4-6 year-old children or for 6-10 year-old children to entertain themselves. The older children will benefit from the glossary at the back explaining the Italian words used in the stories.
Autorenporträt
Gene Goldberg's varied background includes a tour of duty in the US Army, during which he was stationed in Naples, Italy, a career as an architect, mostly with the National Park Service, and a second career leading hiking and cultural trips to such varied places as the Colorado Rockies, Italy's stunning Dolomites, and the remote Kingdom of Bhutan. Now retired, he lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife dog, Bailey. Besides continuing to lead outings to Italy and Bhutan, he enjoys travel to other remote locations, most recently having visited Mongolia for the Golden Eagle Festival. Other interests include photography, contra dance, and cooking, especially Italian food though he rarely makes pizza; without a wood-fired oven he can't make pizza that lives up to the standard he learned to love while living in Naples. Once Upon A Pizza shows how he used his imaginative, architect's mind to entertain his son who, at age 9, asked for new bedtime stories. With no books to be had at the moment, Gene had to come up with something on the spur of the moment. These short stories, filled with improbable humor, are the result.
