Bambolona, weary of endless bakery chores, seeks magical wisdom from Strega Nona. But when the clumsy Big Anthony joins the lessons, chaos is inevitable. Can they master magic without disaster?

From the publisher
This delightful new edition of Tomie dePaola’s beloved classic stars Strega Nona at her trickiest—and bumbling Big Anthony at his silliest!
Bambolona is tired of working in her Papa’s bakery. There is far too much to do! So she decides to go to wise Strega Nona and learn a little magic, instead.
But here comes Big Anthony. He wants to learn, too…if he doesn’t make a big mess of things first!
