I was nervous at first I thought Annie was going to get stood up by her friends. But great story.

The Spaghetti Party is a book that would be most beneficial to a second grader. The book contains longer sentences, which can be challenging to younger students. The book mentions friendship because the girl in the book invites many people to join the spaghetti party that they will have in the evening. I probably wouldn't use this book to teach a lesson, I would just have it available for second graders to read in their free time.

My favorite part was when the family went to aunt Annie's house to have the spaghetti party.
