How did I miss out on this when I was a kid?!? I love this story, and I would have loved it even more as a child!

[@NefariousDreary]

it's good, right? :D I was 8 when I heard this story. I'm 27 now but I remember it very well.

[@ScheherazOdd]

+Vinny Raptor It's a great story! I'm considering writing/illustrating a children's book, so I was studying older picture books when I came across this. I'm still amazed that I'd never seen this story before!

[@NefariousDreary]

+Megan Coyle yeah, I also like the artwork. that is so cool that you're writing one! I hope that works out well! I like to write short stuff but never for much with it

[@ScheherazOdd]

+Vinny Raptor Keep at it! You never know, it may eventually turn into something!

[@NefariousDreary]

+Megan Coyle ok. thanks, I will! :) you too!

[@ActivistVictor]

lol so they don't believe big anthony about the pasta pot being magic, yet they have no questions when strega nona works her magic on her warts, makes love potions, and instantly cures headaches? with all that being seen in action, how is a magic pasta pot seen as totally crazy lol

[@unassumingaccount395]

Kid in the late 2000s reading 90s hand-me-down books check 😎😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌 edit: found out that the author passed, may he rest in peace though 😔🙏

[@thePigFlysAtMidnight]

this was one of my favorite books in elementary school!! I used to pretend I had a magic pasta pot!!

[@BeMoreFunny]

RIP Tomie dePaola ❤

[@guytorie]

Literally pulled this video up because I'm making pasta right now and I want to have the experience of getting to eat pasta after hearing this story because tbh if I hear it without pasta in the room it just makes me hungry for pasta

[@ro1032]

Como eu amava este livro

[@leahladner1180]

This is the best book ever. read it in first grade in school and still love it.

[@NefariousDreary]

thanks for uploading this! I heard this story back in 1996 when I was 8 years old. it was always one of my favorites. and I remember it so well

[@lesliewalker6430]

My mom used to read this book to me when I was 4/5yrs old WAY back in 1984/85 😂😂😂😂..I could only remember the illustrations and bits about the pasta trying to remember this book..my partner took the time to find it for me..that’s love

[@19musiclover18]

When I learned of Tomie dePaola’s passing, I had to watch this video again. He was one of my favorite authors as a kid. He will be greatly missed.

[@acreativeprincess9334]

I used to read and love all Tomie Depaola’s books as a kid!!!!! I still love them💞

[@emilykeenan6149]

[@allysonnordstrom7899]

omg me to what school you went to

[@lilwadina]

I woke in the middle of the night after dreaming of this story forgetting what it was called, my Nana would read it to me before bed, she recorded it once for nights she was too sick to read. I must have listened to this story over 100 times

[@cybersushigirl]

I still own a handful of my childhood favorites and this is one of them.

[@leahladyanov2354]

Lev, maybe Strega Nona is the reason for our deep love of pasta?! Great memories :)

[@lev360]

lol thats for sure!!

[@leahladyanov2354]

My question is, when will they turn this book into a movie?

[@lev360]

we should make it!!

[@leahladyanov2354]

Dude..you're on! I cast you as Big Anthony and Suze can be Strega Nona...she has the voice for it ;)

Wish I could write a book for children like this one, wish me luck!

[@mkspangenberg]

I know right? He was amazing. Hundreds of the best books. We are all lucky to write one or two he wrote an illustrated so many. The world is less of a place now that he is gone. God lent us a gem for a while.

[@ziek84]

Classic!!! One of my favorites ♥️

[@meldonuk4101]

Ahhh the nostalgia, in 2nd grade my teacher read this to us, and gave us pasta in class

Did Strega Nona have a license for her magic pot?

[@robertdubs9466]

She did, but Big Anthony didn't.

Mee to hahaha

[@kumararun7809]

I have over 600 books 📚 Of this one

[@yayacentella]

my daughter loves these stories and i love reading them to her. she learns a valuable lesson about magic. And many adults can also stand to learn a lesson of not dabbling in the mysteries of magic without proper guidance. Blessings of Peace on Earth! Ase!

[@simplyyaasmiyn9544]

I will let my daughter watch this video.

[@yayacentella]

Freckle Witch there is another one that is kind of like a cinderella story remix. its called Big Anthony and the Magic ring. BB

[@simplyyaasmiyn9544]

Ok I will look that up

[@ShadyJ911]

There is nothing mysterious about magic. It is simply illusions and is not real.

[@yayacentella]

BRUH THIS USED TO BE MY FAVORITE BOOK

[@poisonstrategy]

big anthony now has the big obese

[@hannahburkey4880]

Question I remember this book but there's a similar one that involves a character very similar to her in a different book that involves seashells by the seashore and collecting them? Am I crazy or does anyone else remember this book if so do you remember the title?

[@Myself-anonymously]

The moral of the story is follow rules, and also, be fully observant instead of only partially observant, otherwise you won't entirely understand what you want to understand. And also there's another moral to the story, pride and selfishness can and often does cause negligence in observation and/or eventual downfall.

plot twist. big Anthony kills strega nona with magic

[@MrDavidbenavides]

love this book

[@ESponge2000]

Well, I feel less sorry for Strega Nona when she's sitting in her little home with such a magic resource to feed unlimited numbers of people when such a pot can and should be used to feed millions upon millions of hungry souls in poverty and famines and poor neighborhoods everywhere. Unless we can assume there is a cost to the pasta production it's just a paperless declining balance type PayPal sort of thing.

[@pangenderoctopusroamingcos4906]

I like how a children's book is talking about lynching someone for pasta
