ABC PASTA

Juana Medina

An Entertaining Alphabet

From the 1 Big Salad creator comes another unique and truly delicious concept book, this one using pasta, noodles, and a few forks and spoons to help children learn their ABC's!
A rigatoni ringmaster, tortellini trapeze artists, and fettuccine fire-eaters: it's an ABC circus of pasta! Following her fresh take on numbers with veggie-made animals, collage artist Juana Medina creates circus performers and acts from real pasta. The circus never looked so delicious!

An alphabet book with a truly fresh look. Children will love seeing fun pasta shapes as part of Juana Medina's ingenious collage illustrations.
With a beautifully simple book and page design that is appealing to both children and adults.

This is the perfect book to read together before taking a field trip to the grocery store pasta aisle to find the letters and shapes of campanelle, gemelli, tortellini, and more.

A toothsome way to have fun.

Children and adults alike will savor this dazzling addition, and the possibilities for programming ideas are endless. A must-have, especially for those seeking to spice up their concept book collections.

Each letter, shown in upper and lowercase, is given its own whimsical page. Within an imaginative circus setting, concise text arcs around a troupe of smiling, rosy-cheeked clowns, gymnasts, magicians, knife throwers, and more. Like 1 Big Salad (2016), Medina’s clever illustrations use thick black lines, colored washes, and subtle prints to bring inanimate objects to life.
