Pasta Pasta Lotsa Pasta

Pasta Pasta Lotsa Pasta is the funny story of a girl’s family who loves to eat and cook pasta, but when they each like their own kind, things get messy! Within this big family/famiglia, there is Nonna Ana, Nonno Titi, Zio Tony, Zia Trini, Zio Renz, and her Cugini who like lasagna, spaghettini, ravioli, rontini, gnocchi, bucatini, tortellini, and capellini!

It sounds yummy when they all arrive at her house with their groceries to make their specialty, but maybe it’s too much for everyone! The reader follows the story of the girl’s large family as they get together for fun, laughs, and to fill their tummies, regardless of things going exactly to plan!

I enjoyed reading the English and Italian words throughout the story; I didn’t know the other language or the names of the many kinds of pasta besides spaghetti that I normally eat! I liked that even though things didn’t go as planned for the family, they made the best of it and made memories together. The illustrations have a lot to look at, making each page exciting!
