Baba Yaga and the Wise Doll: A Traditional Russian Folktale

(2) K-3 This snappy retelling features plenty of dialogue and a protagonist named Too Nice, who is harassed by her sisters and forced out into the woods to visit the witch Baba Yaga. Fortunately, she is accompanied by the wise doll, given to her by her mother before her death. Dramatic illustrations contrast the big-eyed, innocent Too Nice with a tangibly--and glamorously--demonic Baba Yaga. No sources are given.
