Oxford Reading Tree Traditional Tales: Level 7: Baba Yaga

Bought this for my two daughters (age 3 and 6). Was a bit worried it might be a bit scary but it has been rewritten in such a way that it’s not scary at all. It’s similar to Hansel & Gretel. The pictures were interesting and the story enchanting. So glad I bought it. Really recommend it.

'Baba Yaga', by Tony Bradman & Anaïs GoldembergTraditional Tales retold ~ 'Baba Yaga' is a witch who appears in many Russia and Middle Eastern folk tales.'When the brave Natasha is tricked into visiting Baba Yaga's house in the woods, will she be able to escape the clutches of the wicked witch?'

Children in my year 2 class loved this as a comparison to Hansel and Gretel. They were then inspired to write their own fairy tale in a similar way.

Good retelling of traditional tale.

my granddaughter will love this book
