Eddie ate spaghetti six days a week, he liked it that much. One day he went on an errand for his mother (with a bowl of spaghetti in his hands) and was able to help three people through the use of his spaghetti. A fourth incident made him a hero. Entertaining story with funny illustrations.

Any kid (or adult) that likes spaghetti will want to read this book! Eddie makes this food so much fun. The rhymes are catchy and the story is entertaining. A book that will be asked for over and over again. I have students in my 5th grade class who tell me this is still their favorite book. Read this excellent picture book and you will see what kind of an adventure Eddie is really on. Look closely at the pictures and you will notice another story playing out. :) You don't want to miss this one!

A fun food story about a young boy named Eddie who loves to eat spaghetti and carries the bowl with him. Throughout the day while carrying his spaghetti, he assists people along the way offering a noddle of spaghetti. The story is delightful, thorough and well written. The audience enjoyed how the story came together at the end during preschool storytime. Great for the older preschool age group.

About Eddie, a boy who only eats spaghetti - except on Sundays, when he eats ravioli. He is asked to go to the grocery by his mother and ends up saving the day for several people by using his spaghetti noodles to solve their problems. Would be good for any elementary level and especially appropriate for a lesson on problem solving, food, or creativity.

Perfect book to read during the week I had spaghetti cravings! And this will work great for the Heroes Book Time because it is a different twist to someone who helps out. I really like that and think it will keep the kids' attention. I especially love the meatball!

Loved this book! Ordered it for my nephew for his second birthday and it came personally autographed from the author! How kind and unexpected was that! He loved the book and has come to love Ryan's music as well. Great children's author - I would suggest it to anyone with little ones!

There's no problem too big that spaghetti and meatballs can't fix. Creative story and neat illustrations to match.
