Flat at Work
Mrs. Cooper's second grade class at Buttonwillow School in Buttonwillow, California, sent Andrea's Flat Stanley for a visit. Tomie asked Flat to review the first proofs of MY MOTHER IS SO SMART (publication on March 18, 2010) that were received this afternoon. Flat gave the proofs a "thumbs up." Tomie said, "Thanks, Flat!"
What Kind of Cake?
Mrs. Reynolds and Mr. Wall's second grade class at Grant Elementary in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are persuasive.
Jose: You must come to our school. My teacher is a huge fan of yours and now so am I.
Leonardo: If you come, I will make you a cake.
Nathaniel: I'll let you stay at my house.
Romeo: We will pay for your plane ticket if you come.
Salvador: I will give you a lot of my drawings.
Diana (pronounced dee-ana): I will give you a car.
Mariana: I'll buy you a suit.
Sendy: I'll give you paper to draw for us.
Selena: I'll pay for you to stay at a hotel.
Katelyn: I'll buy you a paint set.
Tomie: Well, I DO need a new suit, and I would like a cake. But, I no longer visit schools as I once did. Although I'm only 39 years old, I feel as if I'm 74 years old, and school visits take more energy than I have. Thanks for asking, and offering such great rewards!

The Origins of STREGA NONA
Mrs. Pevoteaux and her second grade class at Trailblazer Elementary in Colorado Springs, Colorado: In the video "A Visit with Tomie dePaola" you said that Strega Nona was an original character. We then found these two different book covers, one stating that STREGA NONA is an original tale and one stating that it is an old tale. Could you please clarify the origins of STREGA NONA for us?
Tomie: Gladly. Check out the posting at Tomie.com. (I asked the publisher to change the subtitle from "old" tale to "original" tale. People had misunderstood my use of "old" in the first editions of the book.)
