Customer Reviews

Lots of Excitement and Color

We borrowed Grandma Chickenlegs from the library, and it's the first book in a very long time that my 6 year-old has asked to buy. The writing is more interesting than any of the other versions of Baba Yaga that we've read, and the illustrations are wonderful.

A Lot to Learn From Grandma Chickenlegs

After reading Grandma Chickenlegs, my two year old daughter could not stop talking about her. Grandma Chickenlegs is a bit frightening, but the polite, friendly girl prevails in the end. I've decided to purchase the hardcover book to give to my daughter when she's a bit older....as a reminder of a book that had a bit of an impact in many ways!
