Prince Ivan is lost in the woods and captures a bird for his dinner to find that it is the Firebird he has caught. Among the gardens where they are being held captive are golden fruits that the Firebird eats in order to keep her voice clear and beautiful. This story is about nine maidens (ten) being held captive by Kostchei the Deathless. Text Accuracy: the culture is clearly represented, names of characters are fitting to the culture, the characters behave in the ways that is culturally fitting. Clothing, objects, and style fits the setting. One is the story literally and below it is the story drawn as you might see it in a ballet. Illustrations are wonderful, telling the story in two different ways. Storyline is average with simple characters, and a simple storyline, but will captivate the students.Īuthor has provided extensive notes on the reason why she was inspired to write this story along with a long list of bibliography that she referred to while writing this tale. This would be a great book for an introduction to the Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky. Reviewed for use as a book in classrooms K-3
