Pizza for the Queen

Author: Nancy Castaldo
Illustrator: Melisande Potter
Year: 2005:
Age Level: 4-8

Plot Summary: It's 1889 and Raffaele Esposito makes the best pizza in Naples, Italy. One day Queen Margherita asks him to make a pizza for her and Raffaele can't decide which kind she would like best. In then end he creates the Margherita pizza in this factual story.

My Rating: B. This book made me want a good pizza really badly. Besides that, it was just okay. The illustrations did the job, and the text was all right. The font was kind of harder to read though, and it had kind of jumbled effect overall.
