I found this book in the donation section at the library and quickly donated. :) I really do need to learn how to read Russian. I wonder how this book made it all the way to Texas? And it is in Brand New Condition!
I think it is a children's bible story book. The pictures are gorgeous and may be hand tinted. It was purchased in Russia as the traditional price was inside the cover.... 237- (would that be Ruples?)
I hope someday I can go to Russia as we did Ukraine.

Our older son says that the cover says, "Bible with Stories for Children". I was able to make out "Biblia", lol. Glad our son has not lost his 1st language...though he came TOO close to doing so almost a year ago!
Great find, Christie! Kelly
Yes, rubles. 237 Russian rubles is about USD 7.56. :) If it was bought in Ukraine, 237 grivnas are nearly 30 dollars!
Really pretty book, quite possibly brought either by a Russian family, a missionary, or an adoptive family.
That really is nice; I honestly think it is the same one that our missionary friend gave to all the children at the orphanage where he works.
How nice!
Awesome! Rosetta Stone has a good Russian language program if you wish to learn to speak Russian. I don't know how effective it is for reading, but it does teach that as well. You can possibly find a used version online some where.
