- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Personal Response: I chose this book because I've read other titles by Tomie de Paola, but I was dissapointed. The illustrations were lovely, but the text wasn't very engaging. I know the plot is based on a religious story, but it was written in an incohesive, almost episodic way. I don't think young children would enjoy this book.Curricular Connection: I wouldn't chose this book to use in a school or library curriculum. A child could read it on their own and discuss it at school.
