Strega nona by tomie de paola5/18/2023 But I bet kids learned to eat a lot of pasta from them!!!įor those new to me or my reviews. if you want this to be a listen, did she have to be a witch? Couldn't she just have been a grandma with some magical powers? I suppose it's a good way to show that not all "witches" can be bad. I liked the idea of a witch teaching children, but at the same time. Of all the picture books, these weren't my super-high favorite ones, but they were still very good. and when it's in a picture book format, it's quite strong. It all comes down to teaching the 4 to 8 range why it's important to listen, what harm can happen if you don't and how to always be honest and truthful. These books were meant as little lessons for children. And even though he was told not to use the pot, he doesn't listen and causes all sorts of wacky situations. One day, she has to go away and leaves Big Anthony in charge. Strega Nona means "Grandma Witch," and she helps the townspeople with all their problems through her magical pasta pot. I enjoyed the premise of the books but only read the first one, and maybe the second or third (can't remember!). It was eventually made into a cartoon and several other children's merchandise, all fun and educational toys as kids grew up. Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola is the first book in a classic children's literature series from the 1970s and 1980s.
