Just as good as I remembered as a kid. Baba Yaga is still one scary lady.

I loved this book when I was little!! I read it and re-read it until it fell apart, in fact, but it's still on my bookshelves today!

The throwing of things and they transform into barriers and shit. That is magical!

This is a folktale about Baba Yaga, the evil witch, called Bony-Legs in this story. I have to say that this is the old way of seeing witches. Witches were vilified by people for a long time, even though they were mostly herbalist. So, I don't really like the Evil witch troupe, but...
This is a good telling of the stony. A girl is going to look for a needle and thread for her mother when she comes across the house in the forest with chicken feet. She is a kind girl and she helps the gate, the dog, the cat on the way to the house. So when the witch wants to eat her with her iron teeth, the cat, dog and gate help her get away.
The story is good and scary. There is plenty to send chills down the spines of kiddies here. The artwork is decent, it sets the tone of being edgy and a bit scary. So, it's an evil witch, but I still enjoyed the story, so I'll see Bony-Legs as the exception to the rule on witches.

Oh, I loved this, with the accompanying audio cassette. I can still hear the narrator's voice.

A just-creepy-enough retelling of the Baba Yaga story. Sometimes young kids ask me for scary books, and I feel like this is a good fit for that situation. Bony Legs is genuinely creepy (she reminds me of the Boogieman from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon), but the story isn't terribly fraught with peril - making it a good choice for young readers. The illustrations are really distinctive, and if I had read this book as a kid, I'm sure it would be burned into my brain. Hoping that by passing this one along, I can encourage those long-lasting recollections in the newest generation of readers. :)
