"Celebrate Nature's Bounty with Strega Nona"

Tomie dePaola’s loveable and wise Strega Nona is back in a beautifully illustrated book, perfect for fall and the changing seasons.

In this humorous tale, Strega Nona tries to teach the well-meaning Big Anthony about gardening and the importance of order. But when Big Anthony does not follow her directions and tries to use her growing spell, his small vegetable patch turns into an unruly jungle!   The problem becomes...what to do with all of the overgrown vegetables.
