Being Italian, I love his tribute to his home country in all his work through illustrations, colors, and Italian devotions to saints.<BR/><BR/>I second the recommendation for the "holy twins"! I also love his books "first one step, now another" about the relationship between a child and his grandfather and "Bill and Pete" about a crocodile and his toothbrush, a bird. :)Wife of a Soldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450910308752462805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-28843749150396945582007-12-18T14:09:00.000-05:002007-12-18T14:09:00.000-05:00I read "Clown of God" to the children using the FI...I read "Clown of God" to the children using the FIAR program. We read the story so many times. And, each time we get more from it. It is a masterpiece! <BR/> As a college student I discovered Tomie in my Children's Literature class and have loved his work ever since.<BR/>Thanks for another great find Regina! I am looking forward to reading it to the kids.JMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562810755617176594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982542.post-13654129053905287262007-12-17T22:09:00.000-05:002007-12-17T22:09:00.000-05:00I love DePaola's work!

(The Nana book has been put out again with color pictures, thanks to Mr. DePaola.)<BR/><BR/>Have you ever seen his book called "Holy Twins"? It's about Saints Benedict and Scholastica. Very nice. I could do without the dog books for the most part, but his books where his Catholicism shows are among my favorites.Christine the Soccer Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270550419011368834noreply@blogger.com
