Hideous pictures
Pictures are hideous. They have great traditional Russian patterns and designs but they look so cheaply done on a low quality computer. Basically cut out image pasted on psychedelic background.Translations are great. I may just do my own illustrations and use the words. Not for small kids, since has several pages of text without a picture.

I really like that this book is bilingual: half page is written in English and the other one - in Russian. Non-Russian speaking kids can enjoy that stories too.

Trying to expand my kids' cultural experiences is hard enough when they only speak one language, but I thought I had really hit on something here. Sadly, the English translations read as though the publisher had simply run it through google translate. Are the words translated? Sure! But there was no editing done to correct the differences in sentence structure or to make sure the meaning of the sentence in Russian was conveyed accurately.

I'm giving 4 stars because despite the issues with the translations, the stories are exactly what I was looking for, and I can share part of my childhood with my children.

I loved the idea of this book. Bilingual, Russian and English fairy tales. Unfortunately, the English translation was substandard to the point where I need to fix it before reading it to my granddaughter.
