Happily, it´s available in many other sites on the web.¤ 3) Hardcover Book How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus by Vernissage Press. 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.¤ 4) Hardcover Book How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus by Vernissage Press. Great book to introduce you to Russian Christmas traditions and a some common words. The illustrations in this book are great and done in the Russian style (The illustrator was is a Russian Artist).
This story blends the Western and Russian traditions of Christmas in a way that children and parents will enjoy year after year.¤ 5) Hardcover Book How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus by Vernissage Press. This is a beautifully illustrated book about how a young Russian girl helps Santa Claus. It is a wonderful introduction to the variety of ways that Christmas is celebrated in other countries, but retains enough focus on the US to make it interesting to young Americans. My daughters love the book and I enjoy reading it to them as the story is interesting for both children and adults.¤ 6) Hardcover Book How The Russian Snow Maiden Helped Santa Claus by Vernissage Press. 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."¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 4-Dec-2008, 09725027429780972502740, 300-440-420-021-061-141-8
