(3) K-3 Illustrated by Helen Cann. After spending the night at Baboushka's house, the three kings invite her to join them as they look for the Christ child. After she cleans the toys she plans to bring as gifts, she leaves too late, just missing the kings and the newborn baby in Bethlehem. Year after year she continues to search, giving away toys to sleeping children. Watercolors with a distinctly Russian folktale flavor accompany this pleasant retelling.
