Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola

 
 


This is a board book which I am sure the littlies will enjoy.  It is a classic Italian fairy tale with a wise woman (or witch) who has a magic pasta pot.  And a young man who tries to use it without obeying the rules.

 


I enjoyed the story and the illustrations.  I couldn't find any mention of who translated it into English.  And then realised that it came out in English!  It was originally published in 1975.
