Mina Cucina can't cook. She juggles, jiggles, dribbles and drops. But when she drops the pasta pot, a new animal is born.
Can Spaghetti Giraffe and his quirky friends help Mina Cucina enter the Great Bonbon Confectionation - the biggest baking competition the valley's ever seen?
All she needs is a cake. A cake that doesn't erupt, take flight or explode.
The Spaghetti Giraffe with it's short chapters would make it an ideal book for introducing novels to younger readers. The authors poetic prose also makes it a fabulous read-aloud. 
Suitable for 7 to 10 year olds.
