- Reading
- Read the story first, then look at the recipe together. You could compare its ingredients with the ones mentioned in the tale, without assuming the recipe matches Raffaele’s pizza exactly.
- Themes
- A story connected to pizza history: The story follows Raffaele Esposito preparing a pizza for Queen Margherita in 1889 Naples and is described as based on a true story. The historical connection is part of the story’s premise, but how closely the events follow the true story is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The story presents an ingredient mishap when a cat eats the anchovies. If food choices matter to your child, the recipe’s ingredients and any suggested substitutions may be worth checking together.
