Peter and the Blue Witch Baby

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexi Natchev. The young Tsar Peter rejects the jealous witch Molnya, and she curses him with ruin when he chooses a bride. When Peter courts the Little Sister of the Sun, Molnya transforms herself into a giant baby and proceeds to devour his castle. Exuberant cartoonish illustrations bring out the humor in this deliciously scary tale.
