Book Reviews of How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus
Book Review: Great Gift for Adopted Child's Class!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book to my daughter's kindergarten class and gave the book to the teacher for Christmas. They loved it. I also took my daughter's matryoshka (nesting doll) to show the children, since the book talks about those. It was a great way to introduce them to some Russian holiday traditions with enough connection to Santa Claus that they didn't just think of it as foreign. But it really ought to be offered as a boxed set with a matryoshka just like the one described in the book! That would be really a wonderful gift.
Summary of How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus
This is a cross-cultural Christmas tale of a child's self-discovery with introductions to folk characters, traditions, and a bit of language of a far-away country. A pronunciation guide is included: The Snow Maiden's Russian name, Sne-GUR-och-ka, is a guaranteed giggle. The lesson of the fable-like story is to "be yourself and do the best you can."Literature Books
