The Spaghetti Giraffe — Sarah Johnson

Mina Cucina can't cook. She juggles, jiggles, dribbles and drops. But when she drops the pasta pot, a new animal is born. Can Spaghetti Giraffe and his quirky friends help Mina Cucina enter the Great Bonbon Confectionation â€" the biggest baking competition the valley's ever seen? All she needs is a cake. A cake that doesn't erupt, take flight or explode. A charming chapter book for children aged 7 to 11. From the author of The Bold Ship Phenomenal (Storylines Notable Book Award 2016) and Wooden Arms (Storylines Joy Cowley Award 2011). www.sarahjohnson.co.nz
