(2) K-3 Illustrated by Vladimir Vagin. In a note, Yolen describes Baba Yaga, lists key sources, then adds that she herself created this tale. When a girl finds herself scheduled as Baba Yaga's next meal, she sends the hungry crone to buy turnips from her father, and he follows the witch back to the chicken-footed hut. Vagin's Disney-bright art features a dramatically beaked witch just scary enough to add tension to the brisk, cheerful, and entertainingly updated narrative.
