Strega Nona Does It Again by Tomie Depaola

Angelina is so beautiful that all the young men in the village are chasing her, but the one she has eyes for doesn't know she exists. At his wits' end, her father sends her to his dear cousin - Strega Nona. Strega Nona, Big Anthony, and Bambolona are excited to have a houseguest, but they're in for a surprise. Angelina is a spoiled young lady used to being the boss, and before they know it, Big Anthony is her new footman and Bambolona is her maid. Her nonstop demands have the whole household in a tizzy! It's up to Strega Nona to devise a plan that will make everyone happy - including two comical young lovers.

“The inimitable Strega Nona is back. . . . DePaola’s wonderful, unique illustrations in bright pastel colors humorously depict the goings-on and make the book one to savor. . . . Will certainly delight and amuse young children.” —School Library Journal
