My three year old daughter loves the Strega Nona books. I'm always looking for books for her that feature strong, clever female characters (who aren't beautiful princesses for a change!). Strega Nona is a charming character, kind and wise, and the books are well-written and funny.

Wonderful story for young children.
Wonderful classic Caldecott Award winner. My kids loved this book!
Back of Book: "Never go near my magic cooking pot," warns old witch Strega Nona. But does Big Anthony listen? NO!
I Say: This retelling of an old Italian tale is enjoyable for everyone. Strega Nona has a lot to teach us about obedience and common sense.

Classic children's story about the magical pasta pot. Excellent for the eyes and the imagination!
This is a wonderful book for children and the adults who read it to them. The illustrations are terrific, and the plot is simple enough for young children to understand. The best part? It's very funny, too.
Same ISBN, but this is the 1988 reprint hardcover edition.
Beautifully illustrated Caldecott winner.
One of my favorite children's books by my favorite children's author.
everybody loves Tomie's telling about the pastamaker known as "grandma witch". just enough macic to keep the little ones on edge of their seat laughing!
I got this book for my 2 1/2 yr. old grandson who loves this series. He asks for one of the Strega Nona books every night.
