Tyler Makes Spaghetti
By Tyler Florence
In Tyler Makes Spaghetti!, Tyler and his dog, Tofu—the heroes of Tyler Makes Pancakes!—want to prepare their favorite meal. The pair go to Chef Lorenzo Mascarpone for information on making spaghetti and meatballs. They imagine a trip around the world to gather all the fresh ingredients for pasta and tomato sauce. Then it’s back to the kitchen where Tyler discovers that cooking his favorite food is as much fun as eating it!
Note: While there isn't a lot about where food comes from, there is a good section in the back and it is a great book to start a conversation using a meal that most children are familiar with.
