A super-silly, super-sweet picture book about a boy, his mom, a shared love of spaghetti, and a special superpower.
With the playful humor of Laurie Keller's Potato Pants! and the world-building appeal of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes this new food-filled superhero story. Meet Fred, a boy who loves spaghetti. Fred's mom is an inventor, and when she builds a machine that can turn anything into spaghetti, Fred thinks life will be nothing but noodles from here on out. But when Fred himself accidentally ends up in the amazing spaghetti-making machine, Fred finds himself transformed. He becomes Super Spaghetti! (A superhero made entirely of spaghetti.) Is this spaghetti-crazy-boy-turned-superhero made of the right stuff to save his town?

Cats Are a Liquid:
Booklist "Mewbery" Nominee
"This bouncing tale will have viewers of all ages giggling." --The Bulletin, starred review
"This amusing STEM picture book explores whether and how cats are a liquid . . . As Donnelly and Saburi display, liquid-ish felines make delightful, funny subjects for scientific research and picture books alike." --Publishers Weekly
"A humorous, poetic look at the solidity of cats in all their manifestations. The perfect segue to a science or poetry lesson, and good read-aloud fun as well." --School Library Journal
"In an endlessly amusing--and strangely thought-provoking--premise ('based on the Ig Nobel Prize-winning investigation'), cats are depicted doing everyday things--lounging, napping, climbing, peeing, bathing--while the text offers double entendres that could refer to the physiology of either housecats or of liquids . . . Pair this gem with A Greyhound, a Groundhog (2017) for a rollicking story time inclusive of cat- and dog- (and hog-) lovers." --Booklist
