Baba Yaga The Flying WItch

Baba Yaga The Flying Witch
Retold by Susanna Davidson
Illustrated by Sara Rojo
A little girl called Tasha had a magic doll which her mother had given it before she died. One day, her stepmother asked her to go to Baba Yaga's hut to get a needle and a thread. However, Baba Yaga was a man-eater witch!! Tasha remembered her mother had told her that if she was in trouble, the tiny doll would help her. She gave her tiny doll a piece of bread and water. Just then, the tiny doll began to speak.
Baba Yaga was fearful and weird. She eats children!? Wow. Brrr. Thanks to the little doll, Tasha finally could went back her home but If I was in her situation, I might be eaten by Baba Yaga.
Baba Yaga had never given foods to her dog and cat for a long time, so she was betrayed by them. She invited her own misfortunes. By the way, I wonder why Tasha's stepmother made Tasha to go to Baba Yaga's hut. Well, I think she wanted to treat her as a nuisance. All of stepmother in fairy tales are mean, aren't they?
