Spaghetti loves collecting -- lost buttons, bits of string, old pencil stubs and lots and lots of dried spaghetti. Spaghetti’s family sees a mousy But when too much treasure takes up all the space in the mouse house, Spaghetti’s parents insist that something needs to change. It’s time for Spaghetti to put on his thinking cap (a pencil shaving) and come up with a creative solution for everyone in the mouse house. A charmingly illustrated picture book that celebrates creativity, recycling, and thinking outside the pasta box. Perfect for inspiring young makers, dreamers, and spaghetti-lovers alike!
