Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a majestic kingdom ruled by King Primavera and Queen Primavera. The royal couple was blessed with two children, Prince Orzo and Princess Penne. This enchanting book, Magic Pasta by Diana Pishner Walker, is a delightful story for children that teaches them about the importance of kindness, friendship, and love. Princess Penne was feeling lonely and bored, wishing for a friend while believing that her pasta bowl was magical. However, she soon discovered that a mystical fairy was responsible for all the magic. After making some wishes, Princess Penne realizes she should be careful what she wishes for, as she might not get exactly what she wants.
Magic Pasta is a captivating story with vibrant illustrations by Brian Dumm that bring each page to life. The colors are bright and cheerful, and the characters are friendly and kind, making it a treat for both the eyes and the mind. The educational value of this book sets it apart. Diana Pishner Walker includes a recipe page for parents and children to make a pink pasta salad and a "Know Your Types of Pasta" page. These unique features make the book more engaging and provide a fun and interactive way for children to learn. Parents will love the themes of friendship, kindness, and family, making it a perfect bedtime story or addition to a classroom library. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it for children aged four through eight.
