Strega Nona does her cousin a favor by letting his stuck-up daughter stay until she gets over the boy she loves. But Angelina is demanding and spoiled and full of herself. Tired of Angelina taking over her household, Strega Nona devises a plan.
While this is a fun tale, it's difficult to believe that Strega Nona and her children would put up with Angelina's behavior as long as they did, and it would have been nice to see Angelina learn something from the incident instead of ending up with everything she ever wanted. Also, at forty pages, this one is longer than the average picture book, and with the multiple panels on each page it takes quite a while to fully digest the story.
