pickRead these to Jace just in time for #foodandlit and St. Patrick‘s Day. The tagged book was really funny, and the one about St. Patrick himself was very informative for a children‘s book. Thanks for the recommendations @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

pickJace & I read these for #foodandlit this month. Strega Nona is set in Italy for #Jubilee - and the others are all set in The Netherlands. Strega Nona was very cute, and I also really liked The Hero of Little Street, which has no words but is quite the adventure when a little boy gets sucked into a 17th century painting in Holland. 🇮🇹🇳🇱

It‘s here! My #JolabokaflodSwap pkg has arrived. I still don‘t know who the sender is and that adds to the surprise. @MaleficentBookDragon Thank you for organizing!
“All right, Anthony, you wanted pasta from my magic pasta pot,” Strega Nona said, “and I want to sleep in my little bed tonight. So start eat.”
This is a cute story for all ages. Has strong theme of punishment, authority and trust.
pickA folktale written by Tomie DePaola, published in 1975. Strega Nona is the source for potions, cure, magic and comfort in her town. Her magical ever-full pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. Big Anthony is supposed to look after her house and tend to garden, but one day, he recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results.
pickAn adorable reimagining of Baba Yaga as a witch from Santa Fe. I loved all of the nods to the inspiration, like the roadrunner legs and the prickly pear fence. I'm not sure why the girl looks like she stepped out of Tim Burton's imagination in most scenes. #Retelling #BabaYaga #Witch #PictureBook
this book is a great book to read to your class to learn the importance of listening and also respecting boundaries. And the story big anthony learns how actions have consequences and I think that that is a great lesson for children to learn as well.
