An old babushka who lives in a boot, three babushkas who count their toes, a boy and a girl and a goat and a dog and a babushka who go by train all the way to Ivanovo!
Well-loved storyteller Patricia Polacco reaches into her family's story bag to present a most unusual Mother Goose. Here you'll find "Yasha," who has a beard that grows and grows; "Matroishka," the nesting doll and her sisters; "The Traveler," who gets an entire village to make soup out of stones; and "The Little Angel," who bounces so high on a bed with a friend that the two end up in heaven!
In this Russian-flavored Mother Goose treasury, Patricia Polacco tells and illustrates rhymes and stories, some new, some that she heard from her own Russian grandmother, her "Babush," and passed on to her own children. Here is a book to share for the joy of it.
