A young woman must use all her courage and culinary skill—along with a magical doll made by her departed mother—to survive her encounter with the fearsome Baba Yaga!

Mr. Paul reads aloud "Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Brave," as told by Marianna Mayer, illustrated by K.Y. Craft. This timeless Russian fairytale storybook is a perfect family bedtime story for home, or for read aloud time at school. It is excellent for elementary grades; while it is a lushly illustrated picture book folktale that will appeal to all ages, its literary quality makes it especially fitting for second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade students.

Credit goes to a viewer for bringing the Vasilisa fairytale to my attention—thanks for the suggestion!
