This is about an old witch who wants to eat a little girl for dinner. The cat, dog, and an old gate save her from the witch. This book, on one hand, could seem scary to young children. However, children a little older would appreciate the story. The characters are described well and the ending is left somewhat open as to what ever happens to the witch.

A classic tale about an old witch who likes to eat children. One day a young girl named Sasha comes to her house to borrow a needle and thread for her mother. Bony-Legs brings her inside and tells her to wash up so she can eat her. Luckily, because of her kind nature, Sasha is saved by a cat and dog who help her escape the old witch and never having to see her again. This story is a great reminder to take care of others because whether or not they will give you something in return, your good actions will be rewarded in the end.

This is a very joyable book. It teaches children to not enter into other people's home. Also, if one does something good, others will help one. It's a fun book. The picture does give a ugly, old fashion vibe.
