Coding ideas, tangled like spaghetti

Kelly Kent’s love of programming meets Chef Amato’s plans for a pasta-making machine, giving the story a concrete way to introduce coding and problem-solving. As extra features complicate the machine’s code, Kelly and her sidekick Gadget work to untangle it and get the project back on track, with the description inviting children to help. Spaghetti serves as both the culinary goal and the book’s image for code that has become difficult to manage. Framed as a STEM picture book, the story connects big ideas about technology with a hands-on, everyday task.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in coding, computers, or technology.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories involving cooking, pasta, and building or fixing things.
