Review

Spaghetti And Peas is a marvelous children's picturebook a young girl who befriends a mother snake and helps her search for her snake babies. Meanwhile, the young girl's father cooks up a storm of spaghetti and peas. The charming text by Gary Gautier is written entirely in rhyme, and the vibrant, colorful, slightly cartoony artwork by Sheila Bailey brings this whimsical and cheery story to life. Spaghetti And Peas is an enjoyable, entertaining book that is excellent for reading aloud to young children. --Midwest Book Review
