Review by Horn Book Review

The overworked baker's daughter, Bambolona, feels unappreciated at the bakery, so she goes to Strega Nona for help, who offers to teach Bambolona her magic. Big Anthony tries to trick Strega Nona into teaching him, too, and--as usual--his blunders hilariously backfire. DePaola's jovial colored-ink and watercolor-paint illustrations add warmth to this Calabria tale perfect for Strega Nona's fans. (c) Copyright 2018.
