Strega Nona “Grandma Witch” needed someone to take care of her house and garden. Big Anthony went to help Strega Nona and saw her use her magical pasta pot. Big Anthony wanted to tell the townspeople what he had discovered, unfortunately he did not see Strega Nona complete her magic spell with three kisses. Big Anthony feeds the town with plates of pasta, but soon he is unable to stop the pot from making pasta and it only stops when Strega Nona returns from her trip and blows her three kisses.
Strega Nona is a good folk picture book to read to the students and help them detect the main lesson of the story. In addition to Strega Nona, I would use other books with lessons and have the class particpate in a book pass. Students will be introduced to different types of texts and various morals or characteristic traits.
