This blog was developed as a resource for teachers and educators looking for multi-cultural books to share with children. I have compiled and cited various reviews of the books listed in this blog, and have added web resources and other tools that will help teachers use the books for instructional purposes. These are all books I have read personally or have previewed a hands on copy of.

Babushka Baba Yaga
Babushka Baba Yaga
Written and Illustrated by: Patricia Polacco
Elementary Grades
"Baba Yaga is a witch famous throughout Russia for eating children, but this Babushka Baba Yaga is a lonely old woman who just wants a grandchild--to love. "A warm, lively tale, neatly mixing new and old and illustrated with Polacco's usual energetic action, bright fold patterns and affectionate characterizations."
