The Pasta Dragon & the Rigatoni Pony

 Let's take a peek in the building where the Thanksgiving Parade floats are made. Here is my favorite. Rao's company made a dragon using different kinds of pasta.


His nose seems to be a ravioli. And maybe lasagna for the mouth. And look! His claws are elbow macaroni!


Here, the brave knight fights the dragon on his rigatoni pony. It is decorated with spaghetti.



Here they are together on the float.


The dragon appears to be riding on a rooster.


He is fierce looking. And appears to be spitting spaghetti sauce.


But he can also breathe fire!


Here are the drawings the artists came up with before they made him.

I would love to have some spaghetti right now, and that is terrible. I should not want another thing with as much as I have eaten today.
