K-Gr 2—Young Tony Baroni will only eat macaroni no matter what delicious pasta creation his Nonna Sophia makes. Every day he asks for his favorite macaroni for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with butter or cheese, until inevitably he gets sick of it and moves on to another popular meal, pizza. This delightful picture book matches Crovatto's soft illustrations with Sadler's rhyming text, making it a fun read aloud for all ages. The book includes a pasta glossary to introduce readers and listeners to the varied world of pasta. Suggested activites are also included to extend the story into discussion and more learning.
VERDICT This is certainly a great purchase for any library and would be a solid addition to a mealtime storytime theme.
