How this got re-printed, I'll never know
By Dione Basseri
I have the hardest time seeing how this won a Caldecott Medal, unless it was because it's so religious and that seemed to have been a big bonus in early years of the medal. This is just terrible. The artwork is perhaps consistent in style, but it's just such an ugly style. It seems more like a middle-schooler's artwork, and not a particularly good middle-schooler. It's done in ink, which could be fine, but the lines bleed so much, it feels more like a Sharpie. And the story itself is just a reprint of an old non-Bible Jesus, more a folk legend than anything else.
Look, just skip this. Don't bother reading, certainly don't buy. If you want the story itself, I know Project Gutenberg and Librivox have free text and audio versions, respectively. Save some money and move on.

An interesting book with beautiful illustrations.
By A Customer
This story adapted from a Russian folktale realtes an episode in the journey of the wise men to Bethlehem. While passing through Russia, they stop at a hut and ask Baboushka if she will join them. At first she declines to search for the Babe in a bitter snow storm, and they move on. The next day, she relents and sets out after them but cannot find their trail. She gives the meager gifts she has packed for the Babe to some children and searches the next year at the time of the Babe's birth. Nicolas Sidjakov's simple and abstract illustrations add to the text. They reiterate the Russian theme of the storyline through the use of sttrong reds, yellows, and blues. The characters' large eyes lend an almost-Byzantine, iconic appearance to the drawings, which may not appeal to everyone. Though these drawings are almost forty years old, they are still appealing to the modern audience. Sidjakov's abstraction of Russian Orthodox iconography gives the illustrations a timeless quality. The text presents the folktale in an interesting manner. Often when stories are translated from other languages, some of the flavor of the original gets lost. This story seems to maintain the feeling of other Russian folktales, which usually center on peasants elevated to high social status or importnce. Baboushka becomes a sort of Santa Claus, bringing children presents at what we know as Christmas. It is a thoroughly enjoyable tale.

To lay before a king
By E. R. Bird
Well, it looks as if I went about this myth all backwards. Not too long ago I had the great delight in reading Ilse Plume's enjoyable, "The Christmas Witch". The story is an Italian legend about a woman that serves as a sort of Santa Claus for the children of Italy. A lovely book. Can't recommend it enough. Anywho, I read and reviewed that puppy and then set about reading some more Caldecott winning picture books. Imagine my surprise when I discovered "Baboushka and the Three Kings". To my amazement, here was the same story. Oh, a little different here and there. Now we are in Russia rather than Italy (those Wise Men certainly got around!) but the story is essentially the same. As a woman who went for 26 years of her life without hearing this story once, I was more than a little shocked to realize how prevalent it is around the world. It just falls into the category of being one of those stories they simply do not teach you in school.
Baboushka lives on her own in a small house in Russia. One day, the Three Wise Men arrive with a huge procession of (what look to be) armed guards. The three knock on Baboushka's door and ask her to accompany them on their quest to find the Christ Child. Baboushka still has some chores to finish up so the men proceed onward without her. Filled with a desire to see this miracle, however, she fills a bag with presents and sets out to find the babe. Unfortunately, the time has passed and Baboushka cannot locate either kings nor child. It is said, therefore, that every year around Christmastime Baboushka renews her search, leaving presents for other children along the way.
The book itself is small and drawn in a peculiar blocky style. I was reminded of nothing so much as Mondrian's paintings while reading. Artist Nicolas Sijakov had a way of drawing that was uniquely his own, and the book compliments that. Whether he is displaying small wooden villages or grand spires and towers, nothing but Baboushka is in color. I was particularly taken with the section where Baboushka is left standing in the doorway of her home as the kingly procession leaves to follow the star. Here we have a small red dot watching forlornly as a line of multicolored dots leave her behind to tramp into the blue snowy wilderness. The story is a little sad, leaving Baboushka forever on her impossible quest, and in a way I preferred "The Christmas Witch"'s more upbeat ending. Just the same, it's a great tale to tell around Christmastime. If you would like to inform children of the myriad of different Santa-claus like tales out there, this Caldecott winning story wouldn't be a bad place to begin.
