Little Book of Pasta

$12.99

Why settle for another sleepy farm-animal story when you can introduce your little one to the glorious world of carbohydrates? Little Book of Pasta is a witty, rhythmic board book that takes babies, toddlers, and their food-loving grown-ups on a flavorful tour of seven iconic pasta shapes from around the world. Packed with bold, expressive illustrations, playful typography, and handy phonetic pronunciations, it turns everyday storytime into a shared celebration of food, curiosity, and family tradition.

  • SEVEN ICONIC PASTA SHAPES BEYOND MACARONI: Introduce curious minds to Macaroni, Fusilli, Lasagna, Capellini, Ravioli, Farfalle, and Rotelle through bouncy, clever rhymes that are actually fun for parents to read aloud ten times in a row.

  • BUILT-IN PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION GUIDES: Each pasta variety includes a clear phonetic breakdown, turning storytime into a playful phonics lesson where toddlers (and grown-ups) can master authentic Italian noodle names together.

  • MADE FOR MEALTIME, BEDTIME & BUSY LITTLE HANDS: Whether you are keeping a squirmy toddler entertained in the high chair while the water boils or winding down before bed, this short-and-sweet read fits right into your daily routine.

  • STURDY 6X6-INCH CARDBOARD CONSTRUCTION: Designed specifically for ages 0 to 4, the 18 thick cardboard pages hold up to enthusiastic page-turning, curious grabbing, and daily storytime adventures.

  • SPARK EARLY LEARNING THROUGH PLAYFUL EXPLORATION: Vibrant colors, diverse characters, and distinct noodle geometries naturally prompt conversations about shapes, textures, colors, and culinary origins.

Skip the predictable registry staples and bring the gift that gets passed around the entire room. Little Book of Pasta is a standout choice for Italian-themed baby showers, baby sprinkles, first birthdays, holiday stocking stuffers, and "bring a book instead of a card" celebrations. It is tailor-made for foodie parents, home chefs, Italian-American families, proud Nonnas and Nonnos, culinary travelers, and early childhood educators looking to add a fresh, personality-packed favorite to a baby’s first library.

Cute little book

This is a cute little children's book. Nice concept of pasta. Phonemic spelling of the names of the pasta makes it fun to read to children.

Very cute illustrations and color scheme. The story itself has real value in introducing the different pasta types as well as the pronunciation of each new pasta, even I learned something!

Super Cute

My 5 year old loves her pasta book. She also has the cheese and cookie books. I've been reading this to her and her baby sister. She really enjoys the pictures and will point them out to her sister. Really fun board book for littles.

Cute but plain

This is a very cute little pasta book. It has a little rhymes in it about the different kind of pastas and their pronunciation. My kids are two and four, and they found this book to be a little boring. There wasn't enough to look at on the page. They don't understand the pronunciation part so I think a little more illustration would benefit the enjoyability for pre-readers.

Cute book

This is a very cute book that any foodie would love to read to their baby. There are 7 different pastas that are discussed in this book. The only thing I don't like is that some of the corners of the cover were peeling back. That would make me think twice before giving it as a gift. If I was in a store, I would look for it different book that didn't have the peeling.
