Summary: Silly fun with pasta
Comment: This light hearted and fun story is a great read for children ages 5-8. Al Dente, the young hero of the story, lives in family that owns a pasta making business. Unfortunately, business is very slow- it seems that people only want pizza these days. But when trouble strikes, Al uses his pasta machine to conjure up zany ways to help people out and save his town.
What I really liked about this book was its educational value. Although it treats its subject in a silly manner, it actually teaches kids (and adults!) about the many, many different types and varieties of pasta. An attractive glossary is presented inside the front and back covers containing labelled illustrations of different kinds of pasta. In addition, a page after the conclusion of the story details exactly how pasta is made and even the best way to cook it. The internal illustrations are wonderful; they give the story an "other worldly" quality that match the text in a terrific manner. See if you and your child can read this and then NOT have a hunger for pasta!
