BR 2-17: Baba Yaga The Flying Witch

I read Baba Yaga The Flying Witch, because the title has impact. I thought I want to read once. One little girl called Tasha lost her mother when she was very young. But before she died, she gave her daughter a tiny doll. One day, Tasha went to forest to meet Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga was going to eat Tasha. But Tasha's tiny doll helped Tasha. Tasha did what the doll said. Baba Yaga's dog and cat also helped Tasha because Tasha gave them ham and bread. Baba Yaga had never given her dog and cat any foods. So, they helped Tasha.

Then, Baba Yaga ran to Tasha, but Tasha threw down the mirror and the comb. The mirror became a wide, wide river. The comb became a huge mountain sprang up behind her. So, Baba Yaga gave up and sped back to her magic hut.

My favorite line is Tasha's mother said, "Give the doll food and water if you are ever in danger, and she will help you." (Davidson, 2008, p.6) Tasha cherished the doll and she always put it in her pocket. It is important to cherish mother's memory. I want to cherish many things. This story is interesting! I recommend you it.
