A merry meatball is rolling a path of destruction through a small town. He rolls over pets, petunias, and the library - where he refuses to shush. When he rolls over the mayor herself, the townspeople know it's time. Time to invite the meatball to dinner...Sly humour abounds in this charming, offbeat story that will appeal to anyone who's ever faced a bully - and, of course, to spaghetti fans of all ages.
