Fun story

It was a bit creepy and weird but I enjoyed it

It’s very very very boring and had some scary bits, such as when the witch tried to eat Tasha.

This book is about a flying witch called Baba Yaga who wants to eat a child. The main characters are the witch and the little girl. The story was set in a forest. I like that the little girl manages to get away.

It is very hard and very scary for 5 year olds. But it was very good!

It’s a strange book and the witch isn’t very kind. The doll is clever

I liked reading about the witch a girl called Tasha who tried to find her in the forest. It is a long book but has good pictures. I would recommend this story.

I learnt about how to be safe. I didn’t like when the step mother sent Tasha to the forest. I liked when the little doll saved Tasha. It was funny when the witch ate the mountain. Yes, I want my friends to read the book.

I really liked this book, my favourite bit in the book is when baba yaga flew through the forest in a pot.

It was fiction. The character I like the best in this book was Tasha. She had courage to face Baba Yaga and managed to foil her stepmother's wicked plan .
