Beautiful, informative little book celebrating Russian culture!

This is a beautiful little paperback book that teaches children about various aspects of the Russian culture (the Alexander palace in Saint Petersburg (yellow), the red flag of the Communist party - as well as some history since then, the blue of Lake Baikul, the black of caviar, the gold of the Russian Orthodox church, etc.). One thing that's nice about this book is that the Russian people portrayed are of diverse ethnic heritage. The people on the "White" page - white for snow - are Chukchis, indigenous people who live in Siberia. And on the green page, which is green for the grass on the steppes, a Scythian (one of the nomadic tribes) is pictured riding a horse. Since there are so many ethnicities in Russia it's wonderful to see a children's book that acknowledges it.

An Exciting Learning Experience!

Although an adult, I still enjoy reading children's books, as you can see from some of my previous reviews. I found this book to be educational and very interesting, and believe that children will enjoy learning from it.In Colors of Russia, Ms. Zemlicka uses different colors to convey a variety of facts about Russia. For example, the color orange tells us about the Siberian tiger, how it's the world's largest cat and is on the verge of extinction. To acquaint yourself and your child with Russia I highly recommend this exceptional book.
