Bony-Legs by Joanna Cole, Dirk Zimmer
4.0
This is a folktale about Baba Yaga, the evil witch, called Bony-Legs in this story. I have to say that this is the old way of seeing witches. Witches were vilified by people for a long time, even though they were mostly herbalist. So, I don't really like the Evil witch troupe, but...
This is a good telling of the stony. A girl is going to look for a needle and thread for her mother when she comes across the house in the forest with chicken feet. She is a kind girl and she helps the gate, the dog, the cat on the way to the house. So when the witch wants to eat her with her iron teeth, the cat, dog and gate help her get away.
The story is good and scary. There is plenty to send chills down the spines of kiddies here. The artwork is decent, it sets the tone of being edgy and a bit scary. So, it's an evil witch, but I still enjoyed the story, so I'll see Bony-Legs as the exception to the rule on witches.
