Pascual and the Kitchen Angels

When Pascual is born, angels sing from the trees. When he sings to the sheep, they sing back. All the animals love this special boy. So it is no surprise when he grows up and wants to join a monastery to help the poor. Mama sends him off with a big basket of food for the friars, and they send Pascual to the kitchen to cook for them. Poor Pascual! He doesn't know how to cook, so he prays. And that's when the kitchen angels swoop down and prepare a feast so delicious that the friars want Pascual to cook every night. What can he do? Exquisite illustrations reminiscent of Italian frescoes capture the beauty and humor of Pascual's story. Children and cooks alike will smile and wish they had their own kitchen angels.dePaola, Tomie is the author of 'Pascual and the Kitchen Angels' with ISBN 9780399242144 and ISBN 0399242147.
