The Bad Seed meets The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors in a pasta-tively hilarious story about the most enduring friendship of all time: Mac & Cheese!
The first book from the brand new and pun-tastic Delicious Duos series, Mac & Cheese: The Origin Story explores the heartfelt and hilarious story behind the iconic pair!
Mac was a friendly Noodle from Pastaland and rubbed elbows with everyone. But he didn't have the one thing he wanted most: a friend. So one day, he packs up and goes on an epic journey that takes him across the Sea of Snacks, to the Isle of Candy, through the Desert of Dessert, and beyond Mount Cheddar, until he finds himself in... Quesoland.
In Quesoland, Cheese was king. And while he could be a real crowd-pleaser, he didn't have the one thing he wanted most: a friend. When a mysterious and hilarious newcomer from Pastaland arrives, Cheese wonders if Mac might be who he was looking for all this time.
Join Mac and Cheese in their search for true friendship, told through Michael Benner's hilarious, heartwarming text, and Alison Hawkins' endearing, delightful visuals! Perfect for the youngest readers, this funny and sweet read-aloud will ensure a goud-a time!

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Praise for Mac & Cheese:
''Bright retro-style cartoons match the book's gonzo energy, filling each vignette with sight gags and expressive food characters whose oversize googly eyes do impressive emotional work. Recasting classic food combos in buddy comedies is a premise with real appetite appeal -- and this gooey, good-natured opener is a grate place to start.'' -- Publishers Weekly
