Did you notice the lovely silver Caldecott Medal for illustration?
For a special treat, enjoy this Strega Nona puppet show, with an appearance by Tomie dePaola himself!
Now, let's visit a real pasta factory! Look at the cool machines!
Grown-ups and big kids, too, you may be interested in visiting the inside of Tomie de Paola's house. Some of the rooms look like the illustrator might have drawn them! It's so interesting how art informs all aspect of an artist's life!
Buona lettera e buon appetito, Stone bookworms!
It was interesting watching pasta being made, but it was also kind of gross looking. I do not like any kind of pasta. Michael M.
