For $8.99 I was expecting a better quality. Kids love to re-read the books. This book is not going to last at all. Pictures are nice and bright, but the English pronunciation is just too small. Kids are going to strain they eyes and lose interest. If adults need to assist you need perfect vision, otherwise get your reading glasses. For some reason the English pronunciation is missing for colors pg 14 and 15, season pg 16 & 17, and animal sounds pg 24 & 25. It's nice but just too cheap. I'm still debating if I should keep or return.

My husband speaks Russian and I speak English with our girls. More than it being a GREAT book for the girls, it’s actually great for ME to learn more Russian ;)
The words are spelled in both Russian & English but also phonetic Russian as well- helping me learn how to pronounce the words, so that if I want to say the name of something in either language (which I do often)- i can just read the words I dont already know!
The book is categorized to many different categories so we can pick it up each time and learn something new (animals, shapes, colors, letters, fruits, vegetables, numbers, seasons, professions, transportation, things around the house, opposites- super useful categories!).
I will say that some of the category titles aren't always translated into both languages (for example the title of letters is only in Russian, the title of animals as well, the content of the animal sounds is also only in Russian).
All in all, this is a fantastic book!!

A great Russian-English Children’s Book

My son loves this book! This Russian book works really well for both kids and babies. I’ve been using it to help my bilingual child learn Russian. It’s especially helpful that all words have an English translation as well as a phonetic guide. This picture book has all the basic topics to get started with learning the Russian language: cyrillic alphabet, fruits, vegetables, animals, numbers, seasons, house and shapes etc.

Bilingual Russian toddler must have!

What a wonderful book for a bilingual child. We speak Russian to our daughter at home, however, in the daycare the staff mainly speaks English to kids, so I’ve noticed that my daughter started to be a bit confused about the fact that the same object is called differently. So having a book that covered all the necessary words for a toddler in both Russian and English is not only helpful but also very entertaining. The book is broken down into different sections such as alphabet, home animals, wild animals, shapes, colors, numbers and each word is written in two languages and has such a cute images to illustrate every word. My daughter recognises a lot of objects in the book and she just loves exploring it!

Kid-Friendly and Age-Appropriate

This book is absolutely amazing. It’s kid-friendly and age-appropriate. It’s one of the best Russian bilingual books I’ve ever read! The images are vibrantly colored, the activities are enjoyable and entertaining, and it engages both parents and children at the same time! I highly recommend this book as one of the best Russian books for babies.
