Customer Reviews

Great for kids with Russian heritage

We have two boys adopted from Russia. This series of books (Lands, Peoples, and Cultures) is great to remind them of their mother country. They would also work for an older elementary child who has to do a report on a Russia. Very reasonably priced.

A great introduction to Russia

I was looking for a book that would give me a pictorial overview with general information to introduce my sons to the topic of Russia. I have found this book, along with Russia the Land, and Russia the culture, does just that. Having colorful clear photographs in each book and having a very approachable layout, it makes it easy to capture the readers attention and draw them in to know more about this fascinating country. I highly recommend this series if desiring to introduce the topic of Russia to children. I am glad that it is in my library.
