Spaghetti Hunters

From the creator of The Steves and I Am Bat, this picture book is celebrated for its absurdist humor, bold visuals, and delightfully offbeat storytelling that stands out in children’s books.

In this hilariously silly picture book, a duck finds that his spaghetti is lost — and his friend, a tiny horse, comes up with an absurd “spaghetti hunt” to retrieve it. They arm themselves with a spade, fishing rod, peanut butter, cutlery, and binoculars, embarking on a wild adventure. Tiny Horse digs through dirt, swings ropes, and even catches a snake — but no spaghetti appears. Just when all seems lost, Duck turns to a recipe book. With flour, eggs, and a pasta-maker, he proves maybe the only way to get spaghetti is to make it … a recipe for laughter, creativity, and a message about where food really comes from.
