Each time I read a Tomie dePaola book to my students, I alert them to the fact that THIS book is my favorite book. "You said that with the last Tomie dePaola book. Mrs. Keene, you always say that!" It's hard to pick one title as my favorite. I have cherished all of his books and so have my students. As with many good quality classics, Tomie dePaola does not shy away from sophisticated themes and many of his books are created through memories of his childhood. So thank-you, Mr. dePaola. Thank-you. Thank-you.
