Big Anthony: His Story

Fans of Tomie dePaola's kindly Strega Nona will love this charming look at the early days of her good-hearted but clumsy helper, Big Anthony. From the day he is born, Big Anthony never pays attention. As a boy, he leaves the gates of the farm open and all the animals escape. As a young man off to make his fortune in the world, he accidentally "fixes" the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Will Italy be able to survive all the hilarious mishaps of Big Anthony? Ages 4 to 8.
