Big Anthony gets what he thinks he wants—but like usual, it causes him more trouble than he can handle in this beloved sequel to Tomie dePaola’s Caldecott Honor–winning Strega Nona. Big Anthony has a case of spring fever and he needs a little Night Life to cheer him up! But Big Anthony is afraid that if he goes to the village dance, no one will dance with him. So when Strega Nona goes away on a visit, Big Anthony borrows her magic ring, which turns him into a handsome stranger…
Not as fun as the original! Strega Nona is still great though, Big Anthony is still a dope who hasn't learned to stay out of her magic. I'm not too keen on the depiction of women who go 'hysterical' when faced with a handsome man.
