Highlighting a few Russia books for kids

Living in… Russia by Jesse Burton and illustrated by Tom Woolley

I love the Living in series, especially for growing readers. This one takes you on an adventure – of a normal day for a regular kid living in Russia. So fun.

Teach Me Everyday Russian by Judy Mahoney and illustrated by Patrick Girouard

Is this the best way for a kid to learn Russian? Absolutely not. Is it fun? Yes. It includes some songs and basic words, and a CD to help kids try to pronounce words.

Breaking Stalin’s Nose by Eugene Yelchin

This Newberry Honor, middle-grade chapter book introduces kids to life in the Soviet Union and one boy’s journey to joining the Soviet Young Pioneers.
