Baba Yaga has never seemed so scary and so funny at the same time. The illustrations are charming, from the green-faced grandma to the chicken-legged house and the story with the perfect resolution is one that children will ask to hear again and again.

We borrowed Grandma Chickenlegs from the library, and it's the first book in a very long time that my 6 year-old has asked to buy. The writing is more interesting than any of the other versions of Baba Yaga that we've read, and the illustrations are wonderful.

After reading Grandma Chickenlegs, my two year old daughter could not stop talking about her. Grandma Chickenlegs is a bit frightening, but the polite, friendly girl prevails in the end. I've decided to purchase the hardcover book to give to my daughter when she's a bit older....as a reminder of a book that had a bit of an impact in many ways!
