From Booklist:

Whoever thought there could be so many different types of pasta—and so many fun, creative ways to prepare and serve it? On the verso of the title page, as well as other places in the book, Barlow encourages adult-child cooperation in preparing the dishes. The American-style recipes range from the everyday to the elegant, and the six chapters are divided according to the class of pasta needed for the recipes. Most ingredients are readily available, and the recipes are simple to make, given the adult supervision. The subtitle of the book is quite telling; Barlow adds twists to dishes to indeed make them playful (making robots out of macaroni and pretzels, etc.). Zac Williams provides tantalizing color photographs of the prepared dishes, while Oliver’s humorous illustrations add levity and also information on each of the types of noodles used in each chapter. Pasta substitutions and an index are included (though a pronunciation guide for the various pastas would have been helpful). This fills a quirky niche in kids’ cookbooks. Grades 5-8. --J. B. Petty
