Summary

Featuring Tomie dePaola retelling his classic story against a charming musical score!

When Strega Nona leaves him alone with her magic pasta pot, Big Anthony is determined to show the townspeople how it works in this classic Caldecott Honor book from Tomie dePaola.

Strega Nona - "Grandma Witch" - is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical ever-full pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. He is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, Big Anthony recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results.

Lovely story!

Lovely magical story! I remember this story from when I was little. My children were completely lost in the story. It inspired so much play in our household.
