Book Reviews of On Top Of Spaghetti
Book Review: Spaghetti (And Meatball) Surprise Ending
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is the story of the classic children's song "On Top of Spaghetti".
For those who don't remember the words, it goes something like this:
"On Top of Spaghetti all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed!
It rolled off the table and onto the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door."
Yodeler, the dog, wants to get more customers into his restaurant. He invents this new kind of meatball which promptly rolls away when... you guessed it, someone sneezes!
So Yodeler chases the meatball around town. And the poor meatball has a very unhappy ending.
"It rolled in the garden and under a bush.
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush."
But, wait! Something else comes out of that mush. If you want to know how the story REALLY ends, you should definitely buy this book.
Recommended for children 3-8.
