Magical mishaps in an Italian village.

"Strega Nona" is a delightful tale that bridges the magical and the everyday with charm and warmth. Those enchanted by folk stories will find comfort in dePaola's vivid storytelling and his ability to weave magic into a narrative that speaks to the consequences of curiosity and the importance of responsibility. It's a book that, much like Strega Nona's pasta pot, feels ever-full of heart.

Description

From beloved author Tomie dePaola, Strega Nona is the classic Caldecott Honor–winning story in a Classic Board Book edition. Strega Nona—“Grandma Witch”—is the source of potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical, ever-full pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. Big Anthony is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden, but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, he recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results.
