1960 Caldecott Medal. The four color illustrations are very Russian in flavor and enhance this retelling of the old legend.
Unique Christmas story with interesting illustrations. My kids have requested it over and over since we got it. Good for reading aloud to ages 4-8.
"The Russian folk tale about the old woman who, declining to acccompany the Three Kings as they followed the star in search of the Babe and failing to find Him on her own, each year renews her endless search. The strikingly effective pictures are distinctive in design and rich in color"
