Other editions of book Too many Babas

The soup Baba Edis requested to warm her frail bones is spoilt when Baba Basha, Baba Yetti, and Baba Molka each decide something--salt, pepper, garlic--is missing, in an illustrated folktale with a Russian flavor. Simultaneous.

Four peasant ladies discover that too many cooks without a plan can spoil the broth

First published in 1979, Croll's funny, popular too-many-cooks story in the I Can Read series is newly illustrated here, with the "babas" (grandmothers) in a Russian winter setting. The simple, bright pictures in folk-art style show the bustling peasant women in the kitchen, each one tasting and adding and making a bigger mess of the soup.

Put four babas together to make a soup and what do you get? A soup that's too salty, too peppery, and too spicy. But maybe good friends can find a way to make a good soup.
