## Description

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 everfull 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. In this retelling of an old tale, author-illustrator Tomie dePaola combines humor in the writing and warmth in the paintings as he builds the story to its hilarious climax. This package includes a paperback book and a CD of Tomie dePaola retelling his classic story against a charming musical score.

Review: Brilliant story - Read an article in the Times about this author and thought we would try the books for my daughter. The stories are so original I love reading them to her at bedtime.
Review: Lovely story - Lovely story. The children love it. It is funny and it helps children to understand that sometimes there are very good reasons not to play with grown ups things :) and maybe they should ask beforehand.

Lovely story. The children love it. It is funny and it helps children to understand that sometimes there are very good reasons not to play with grown ups things :) and maybe they should ask beforehand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this little book
*by K***Y on 15 April 2013*

I remember this little book being read to me nearly 25 years ago when I was at primary school in South Africa, I always remembered the name and found it on amazon and bought it for my three year old daughter. She LOVES it too! Its a great little book for that age group if reading a story before bedtime, not too long and not too short either. She sings the magic words over and over again. Highly recommend it for your children..............any age
