Okay, so I'm nearly five decades older than the target audience but I really loved this book! It's delightful - well, what else did I expect really from Michael Rosen and Tony Ross? The cat character, Rigatoni, is lovely. The story is simple, but lovely. It's just really cute and I'm sure will appeal to loads of children. An ideal gift!

Thank you so much NetGalley for an advance copy of 'Rigatoni The Pasta Cat' in exchange of my honest opinion.

I cannot believe it took me so long to read a Michael Rosen book, but it was worth the wait!

I adored this story! Anyone that likes pasta can relate, to a certain point, to Rigatoni. He is obsessed with pasta and goes the extra mile to eat some when his carers are away for a few days.

This book is fun, very enjoyable and I really liked the drawings too.

'Rigatoni The Pasta Cat' is the perfect chapter book for 6 - 7 years old kids!

A sweet story that made me smile! I loved Rigatoni, the cat who loves past, and had a lot of fun in reading this story.
I'm sure children will love it but it can also be appreciated by cat lovers.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A cat who loves pasta – how could I resist? This is a wonderfully funny book that does exactly what it says on the tin: tells the story of a cat who loves pasta more than anything. I really enjoyed Rigatoni’s point of view – even though the story is told in the third person, he comes across wonderfully cattish. The illustrations are perfect, with just the right combination of sweetness and humour.

A new book by Michael Rosen with illustrations by Tony Ross is always going to be a delightful experience and this latest collaboration just leaves you with a big grin on your face. It’s a fun story as you would expect from a writer of Rosen’s calibre and the accompanying artwork is just joyous.

I dare anyone not to want to eat a bowl of pasta when that last page is turned!
