- Literature Favorites Strega Nona
Now celebrating its 50th anniversary! When Strega Nona leaves him alone with her magic pasta pot, Big Anthony is determined to show the townspeople how it works in this classic Caldecott Honor book from Tomie dePaola. Strega Nona—"Grandma Witch"—is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical everfull pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. He is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, Big Anthony recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results. In this retelling of an old tale, author-illustrator Tomie dePaola combines humor in the writing and warmth in the paintings as he builds the story to its hilarious climax. Review: Fun story - Love these Strega Nona books. Fun stories for kids. Like illustrations. Award winning book. Review: Quality book - Classic!

A Delightful Find for Storytime
I never knew about Strega Nona as a kid, but a kind stranger recommended it to me, and I’m so glad they did! This book is absolutely adorable and has become a favorite in our household. Reading it to my little one is such a joy—we both love the charming story and whimsical illustrations. It’s a timeless tale with just the right mix of humor and heart, making it a perfect addition to our bedtime routine. We read it often, and it never gets old. I highly recommend this book to any parent looking for a sweet and engaging story to share with their child!

この本自体を期待通りで非常に満足。ただ、来たのがたった一冊だけ！！大きな失望と困惑
扱い会社がアマゾンジャパン合同会社だから、大丈夫と思ってたが、未発送の表記ばかりで毎日毎日履歴をチエックしてて、先日12日着との文字見て、大喜び。月いちの例会に間に合う！！と喜んだのもつかの間。到着したのは、一冊のみ。今日確認したらあとの5冊は8月中旬とか。 質問ですが、アマゾンジャパン合同会社は注文を受けてから、本の取り寄せ確保・発送準備とかをするのでしょうか？ 在庫はないのですか？ 社名からして安心してたのですが。
