A mouse with an eye for castoffs

Spaghetti sees possibility in the things others consider clutter: buttons, string, pencil stubs and dried noodles all become part of his collection. When his growing stash leaves little room in the mouse house, a disagreement with his parents gives him a practical problem to solve. The story brings together collecting, reuse and creative problem-solving in a family setting, with spaghetti serving as an especially distinctive thread through Spaghetti’s ideas. Its 48-page picture-book format centers on a small domestic dilemma and the challenge of finding a solution that works for everyone at home.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy animal stories featuring mice.
  • Young readers interested in making, collecting or reusing everyday materials.
  • Families looking for a picture book about household problem-solving.

Book overview

Meet Spaghetti the mouse -- a tiny collector, recycler, artist and the ultimate noodle-powered problem solver!

Spaghetti loves collecting -- lost buttons, bits of string, old pencil stubs and lots and lots of dried spaghetti. Spaghetti's family sees a mousy mess. Spaghetti sees mouse treasure!

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!
