Book Synopsis



From beloved author Tomie dePaola comes the classic, Caldecott Honor-winning story Strega Nona as a resized Classic Board Book!

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. 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.



Review Quotes




The New York Times Book Review "De Paola's illustrations aptly capture the whimsy of this ancient tale... simple line drawings clearly reveal the agony and ecstasy of pasta power, the muted colors create just the right ambiance for a Medieval village."

Strega Nona is hands down one of the best books for toddlers out there. My two-year-old son absolutely adores it, and I can see why. First off, the illustrations are captivating. They're colorful, whimsical, and full of little details that keep my son engaged from start to finish. Whether it's the bustling village or Strega Nona's magical antics, there's always something new to discover on each page. But beyond the eye-catching artwork, the story itself is pure magic. It's simple yet engaging, making it perfect for little ones with short attention spans. My son loves following along as Strega Nona teaches Big Anthony a valuable lesson about responsibility and consequences. And as a parent, I appreciate the subtle moral lessons woven throughout the narrative. What really sets Strega Nona apart, though, is its timeless appeal. It's one of those rare books that manages to capture the hearts of both children and adults alike. Every time we read it together, it feels like we're experiencing something special, something that will stick with us for years to come. Overall, I can't recommend Strega Nona enough to fellow parents. It's a book that brings joy, laughter, and valuable lessons into our daily routine. So if you're looking for a new addition to your child's bookshelf.
