I love this book. It is a great story for all readers young and old alike. It is about a strega, gypsy or medicine woman, who has hired a boy to help her around her house while she is helping the people of the town below. Everyday she prepares her meals out of a magic spaghetti pot. When she says the magic words, spaghetti comes boiling out of the pot. The hired hand sees this and wants to try to do it too, but he does not see her doing the stop spell. So, the pot boils more and more spaghetti until it fills the house, the hill, and the town. I am buying this as a class set for the upcoming school year. I love this book and want to share it with all of my students.
I collect children's books to read to my grandchildren. Tomie dePaola's are funny and engaging and the illustrations are just plain fun!! Very good buy!!
