Today I am reading "Strega Nona" by Tomie dePaola!
I had the chance to meet him a few years ago at a little bookstore in the North End. He was the sweetest man and talked to each person who was waiting for him to sign something special.
In this book, Strega Nona has a magic pasta pot. She hires a boy by the name of Big Anthony to help around the house. Big Anthony sees her magically making pasta in the pot and tells the villagers. Unfortunately they do NOT believe him. Strega Nona leaves to run an errand and Big Anthony finally has an opportunity to show everyone. He makes pasta for everyone, but the pot does not stop! Big Anthony did not see Strega Nona blow the three kisses which makes the pot stop making pasta. What will Big Anthony do? Read on to find out!
