Baba Yaga and the Stolen Baby
Black geese are flying over little Elena's village, looking for children to snatch up for the witch Baba Yaga to feast upon. When her parents leave Elena in charge of her baby brother, she should be giving him her undivided attention. Instead, she runs off to play, leaving the baby alone in the yard. Brilliant color collages depict the fascinating elements of this gleefully macabre story, from Baba Yaga's bizarre house, which moves around on giant chicken feet, to the forest animals that help Elena outwit the witch.
