This book, by the crative genious of Tomie dePaola, really is a wonderful read for the Christmas season. The story is the legend of how panetonne, the Italian Christmas bread, was created by a baker in Italy.

Resplendent with dePaola's signature style drawings and a good, readable text, this book will be one we'll go to every year for Christmas -- and of course, make panetonne for the family afterwards!

It's Tomie de Paola's gift to be able to make books and food merge into memorable reading. After you share this book with kids, take time to make the fruity bread in a flowerpot to make the reading experience complete

I received this as a gift from a family friend when I was a kid, and it has been my favorite ever since. I still have the original copy, though I plan to order more for each of my brothers' families. As a 21-year-old student majoring in Italian, this is one of my most prized childhood possessions, a book I still read to myself from time to time. I couldn't wait until my nephew was old enough to read it with me, and he loves it just as much as I do.

Great book. My two and a half year old loves it. If you can stomach the false etymology, you're good to go.

I purchased this one many years ago for our daughters and we enjoyed it so much that it was a definite one to purchase now for a friend's baby shower. While the tale is a Christmas story, my girls often wanted us to read it at any time of the year. Tomie DePaola's stories and illustrations are classics to keep forever.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of Tomie's books. If you are Italian and even if you aren't these books are wonderful to read. My Grandkids love them. Don't miss out by not getting these books all my pizanos.
