Strega Nona

Strega Nona goes up to the counter and orders a caffé latte. She downs the drink in a few gulps and returns to the counter dejectedly.

“I want my money back,” she says.

“Was the drink bad?” asks the barista.

“No,” she says, smiling sadly, “It’s just that I was under the impression that this would be a bottomless cup of coffee.”


bowlswithpoles says, “[Tomie de Paola’s] books were one of the first ones I learned how to read in school. When I started helping younger ones to read, Strega Nona (and the rest of the series) were ones I shared. I also love pasta!”

Anon says, “I always loved that old lady as a kid!”
