Noodle Man: The Pasta Superhero

40 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-29307-3 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Costanza. To compete with the pizza-delivery businesses that threaten his family's pasta business, Al Dente invents a portable pasta maker. The townspeople still prefer pizza--until the pasta machine proves useful in emergencies. Although somewhat long, this punning ("Quick, use your noodle!"), action-packed story is entertaining. The absurd plot points are expertly interpreted in Costanza's watercolors.
