Steve loves spaghetti. Steve loves the snow. Steve loves eating spaghetti in the snow!
​
One day a green snowflake that looks like spaghetti noodles lands on Steve’s glove. Of course, he eats it—and is instantly transformed into a superhero. Steve’s arms and legs grow long like spaghetti. He has ultrasonic hearing. He’s Spaghetti Steve! Now he can hear when people call for help from far away, and he can rush to save them by using his super long arms and legs.
​
After a long day of superhero activities, Spaghetti Steve goes home. What will he tell his mom? Will he be Spaghetti Steve forever? Maybe he just needs to eat a real bowl of spaghetti!
Choppy McChompington is just a regular beaver. He works hard and has fun helping his friends build dams and lodges. One day—bonk!—Choppy accidentally gets hit in the head with a log. His eyes start to grow, his front beaver teeth shrink, and his incisor teeth grow into fangs. What is happening? Choppy McChompington has turned into a werewolf beaver!
​
His friends all scream in terror and run away from him. But Choppy is still his same, gentle self. He’s not mean; he just looks scary! How can he convince his friends that he’s still nice? With a little advice from Grandmother Beaver, Choppy makes a plan to prove to the other beavers that he really is a kind beaver. Will his plan work?
