A pop-up book of a noodle circus displays the talents of Stan Manicotti, Yoni the mad macaroni who shoots herself out of a cannelloni, and Eddie Tubetti the spaghetti juggler. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love this book, an early David Carter work. The rhymes are really wonderful (see below) and the pop-ups are adorable too. They are clearly David Carter creatures, but these are all different pasta noodles instead of bugs. I'm sad this is out of print- they should bring it back!Here are a few excerpts from my memory:Ladies and gentlemen, guess what we've got? A feast like no others- a show in a potGet ready, get set- now lift up the top!-------------Gertie Gemelli will flutter and flirt and hula up high in a green noodle skirt.---------Stan Manacotti that great muscle man,eats ravioli right out of a can.------------Barron von ziti- that fire eating clowntakes flaming fusilli and gobbles it down!------------Lena the limber linguine queenwill crank herself out of a pasta machine!Eddie tubetti- he juggles spaghettihe says when it sticks to the ceiling- it's readyOllie and twin sister Mollie farfallebring down the house with a sparkling finale
