The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson

5.0

---

I picked this up from the library, continuing my reading of children's books. This is probably a shade too challenging for my class right now, but honestly I will recommend it for years to come. It was a fabulous story that broke my heart, made me laugh, and just all round was an excellent book. The retelling of Baba Yaga was excellent and the way the house came to life reminded me much of Howl's Moving Castle (which is probably why this was so dear to me). I read this book in less than a day and I would read it again and again and again.
