Strega Nona Review
I cannot believe I went through preschool and 6 years of grade school and no teacher ever read this aloud to me! It is a great children's book, complete with classic storytelling techniques, humor, and a simple, but important moral (For children: listen and follow instructions; and perhaps for adults: Don't disobey your boss!). I can't wait to read the others in dePaola's Strega Nona series. The story is great, and the illustrations are fantastic (clearly, as it is a Caldecott Honor book!). I can't wait to add this to my classroom library when I am a teacher someday soon!

Strega Nona Overview
". . . de Paola's illustrations aptly capture the whimsey 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."-- The New York Times.

Fun Classic! - H. Baxter - WA
This is a wonderful story and it is included on many book lists (a recommended read before kindergarten)! My 3 and 5 year olds have asked to read this many times! They both enjoy spaghetti and the idea of spaghetti pouring out of a pot continuously really tickled them! Equally amusing was that Big Anthony, did not use his "listening ears" when Strego Nona told him not to touch the magic pot! We have read many books by Tony De Pablo and this is our favorite!

I am a 5 year old. I love this book and I especially love his pictures. I am going to become a writer and artist when I grow up, just like Tomie dePaola
