Spaghetti Eddie

Our grandchildren love this book. It is one that they ask us to read to them every time we visit. It is a fun book, but has good lessons for kids as well.

Eddie is a likable, resourceful, even fearless kid willing to lend a hand to anyone in his urban, multicultural neighborhood. Even to his reluctant neighbors. "That sounds awfully silly," they tell him. But follows his advice they do. Suddenly an ordinary spaghetti noodle becomes...extraordinary. The text is fun to read. The delightfully comic illustrations rendered by Jackie Urbanovic are even more fun to look at. Eddie eats spaghetti every single day except Sundays. I read this book to my daughters every single day. Now letting my daughters eat spaghetti every day is another story!

My preschooler cannot get enough of this book. he picked it out at the library and laughs every time we read it. He loves it and I think it's great, too.The multicultural illustrations are also a refreshing change!

My cousin Ryan wrote this book and I may seem biased, but it's a very well-written book. It has a very funny and well-written plot and keeps the reader interested. Plus, if you have a young child, you can do activities with them after reading this book. (For example, think of other ways to utilize spaghetti or new adventures Eddie can go on).
