Strega Nona is the story of an old women with magical powers who take's in a man named Big Anthony as a helper. Anthony sees Nona using a magical pot to create pasta. He then uses the pot himself but not knowing how to stop it creates a huge mess in the town that he and Strega Nona have to take care of. So basically it's a little masterpiece. gorgeous visual elements and a fun little story just make this story so perfect at being what it's trying to be. I can't really think of much to say it really just feels perfect.

Title: On Beyond Zebra
Author: Dr.Seuss
Publisher: Random House(September 12, 1995)
ISBN: 0-349-80084-2
This book is about a boy teaching another child about all the crazy letters that come after Z and all the ridiculous words they are used to spell. As one would expect from Dr.Seuss the art and writing are fantastic and lyrically constructed. The one issue I had is I wish there was a little more color because the pictures stunning as they were felt a tad to bland with the small amount of color and variation used. Otherwise the idea was creative and the book is all around great.
