Apr. 12, 2006 - Russia book review

I decided to add a book review about “my” country. This one is free online.

Boris in Russia is a nice story about a young peasant boy before the Revolution. He travels around and sees the big cities of central Russia. I especially love this book because it starts out right near where we live, and I’ve been to the places that Boris visits. Reading this book gives a very good feel for the area, even if you’ve never been here, though.

My only complaint is that this version has quite a few typos, but that’s not a big deal.

Cool! That's downloadable for free! My kind of book! Thanks! What age range would you say this would be good for -- as a read aloud? My DD is almost 7 and loves to be read to. When we study that time period later this year, I'd like to incorporate that if you think it would be appropriate. What reading level would you say it is?

I don't know exactly, but I would say this book is for young elementary age. I think she would love it. :-)
