Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Strega Nona (Strega Nona #1)

Review
Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola is the first book in a classic children's literature series from the 1970s and 1980s. It was eventually made into a cartoon and several other children's merchandise, all fun and educational toys as kids grew up. I enjoyed the premise of the books but only read the first one, and maybe the second or third (can't remember!).



Strega Nona means "Grandma Witch," and she helps the townspeople with all their problems through her magical pasta pot. One day, she has to go away and leaves Big Anthony in charge. And even though he was told not to use the pot, he doesn't listen and causes all sorts of wacky situations.

These books were meant as little lessons for children. 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. Valuable stuff... and when it's in a picture book format, it's quite strong.

Of all the picture books, these weren't my super-high favorite ones, but they were still very good. I liked the idea of a witch teaching children, but at the same time... 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. But I bet kids learned to eat a lot of pasta from them!!!

Appraise About Books Strega Nona (Strega Nona #1)

How have I never read this book before today? It's so cute and funny and everything a children's book should be. It teaches a lesson without the kid knowing they're learning a lesson. "Don't touch stuff that I specifically said not to touch. I will find out and you will be punished." And I hope I wasn't the only one that thought the ending was going to be dark. I just had a feeling that I was going to see Big Anthony explode from eating all that pasta on the last page.

Strega Nona, won the Caldecott Honor in 1976 and was voted one of the Top 100 Picture Books of all times in 2012 by a School Library Journal poll. The reason for this folktales lasting legacy is that although it is set in Italy a long time ago, the moral lessons and character traits are still relevant in todays world. The story is about a young man (Big Anthony) in an Italian village that seeks employment from the local witch, Strega Nona. Strega Nona is wise and Big Anthony is foolish.

Summarize the book:This is a book about Strega Nona who is a witch who helps people with their problems. She hires Big Anthony to live at her home and do many chores for her to keep up her house and garden. He sees her using a magic pot that makes its own pasta. When Strega Nona leaves he tells everyone to come and eat from the pot. Everyone eats a lot of pasta and then Big Anthony realizes that he cannot stop the magic pot from making pasta and it starts to take over the village and the people

Listen, pay attention, and follow instructions, or there may be negative consequences; in this case, pasta might take over the world. I have enjoyed this author/illustrators other books and his illustrations work so well in this story.I love that this tale isnt scary, doesnt have any villains, and that there is a positive message. The story really is very amusing, and its fun to read aloud.I never knew a book that makes pasta look both so appealing and unappealing. I love the magic pot! My kind

I found this book in my house this weekend and decided to read it. It isn't a super short book, but it isn't very long either. The story line seems like it is for little kids, but not awful overall. I don't recommend it to older kids because it wasn't very challenging. Overall, not a bad book, but not challenging enough for my lexile or reading level.

Strega Nona created in 1975 by Tomie dePaola, was the authors first book about the kind and elderly grandma witch. This book has since been a popular favorite among children and has won the Caldecott Honor Book Award for its excellence in writing and in its drawing. Strega Nona is sure to be a hit with both children and adults.Tomie dePaola does an awesome job at creating a story that is humorous and exciting at the same time. Big Anthony humorously plays the role of a tragic hero as he at first

🍝 I had postponed reading this one as I'm not a fan of dePaolo's illustrations. I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed the story of the "grandma witch" with the "neverending pasta" bowl. Plus I learned that strega means witch in Italian! Had I known that sooner I might have been more keen to check this one out as I do love a good witch story.
