I Want Spaghetti – Stephanie Blake
Published by Gecko Press, September 2015
Simon, that cheeky little rabbit, is back in this latest gem from writer/illustrator, Stephanie Blake.
We’ve enjoyed A Deal’s a Deal and I don’t want to go to school, but I Want Spaghetti has taken first place as our favourite bunny book. On our first reading, both of my boys giggled hysterically as Simon got more and more vocal about his desire for spaghetti, and they walked around the house yelling, “I want spaghetti!!” for a good twenty minutes after we’d finished. When I dished up dinner that night, Tiny looked at me with a cheeky grin and said, “But mum…I want spaghetti.”
Parents of toddlers and young children will think that Stephanie Blake has been spying on them at meal times. Blake has captured the fussy, changeable habits of children perfectly, as well as the clever tricks most parents employ to get their children to eat.
A very clever, simple story sure to delight the fussiest of children.
Thanks to Gecko Press for our review copy.
