Illustrations are made up of geometric shapes and bright, primary colors. The illustrations are reminiscent of the the simple, yet precious gifts the Baboushka intends to give the new baby in this Russian Christmas tale.

A wonderful version of the Three Wisemen looking for the Child. The vivid colors in contrast to the simply drawn figures really give it a feel of Russia. An excellent story to add to any holiday collection.
