Here's a fun-filled book for young Russian speakers — and at the same time, an easy, effective way for students of Russian to build and strengthen their vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 common scenes (14 double-page and one single-page), each devoted to a different theme or topic: picnic, on the farm, classroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, at dinner, supermarket, at the beach, my town, at the zoo, at the park, vehicles, and more. Each scene contains dozens of familiar objects, all clearly identified by Russian words. By studying the pictures, students can learn over 500 terms for a variety of household items, clothing, foods, furniture, animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and other subjects. To help reinforce words and meanings (and for more fun), all scenes can be colored. In addition, a complete list of Russian words and their English translations is located at the back of the book. Altogether, the result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic Russian, child or adult. Review: Great Vocabulary Booster - Great vocabulary booster! I'm in my first year of Russian and this is really helping me memorize the words that we use everyday in class. It has a lot of common words that you would use in your everyday life and there's a dictionary in the back to help with translation. I like that I can color in the pages because it gives me an excuse to focus on the words. I love it. Review: Neat - Exactly what I expected. I am excited to get started on more vocabulary. I saw some people mention the lack of stress symbols being present to help pronounce the words. I see this as opportunity for you to look it up in dictionary or online and place the stress symbols appropriately yourself to reinforce the material to an even greater degree! Do not get if you cant pronounce the alphabet as this is just words over pictures with translations in the back. Very simple and exactly what i was looking for.

The good and the bad
Book is all black and white line drawings. Pros: large vocabulary of everyday nouns. Cons: the font used is not bold enough to stand out clearly, and is difficult to read.

for every age learning....
I m learning more from it, than I have learned from all other books... I am 30 yrs old. but it's so much fun to just feel like a kid and color in the book... Lol. If you are a beginner, you would need to identify the alphabets first. Or you can always use internet to check what word exactly means what and how is it pronounced.

just a coloring book, not for preschool
I speak Russian and bought this for my 4 year old son. I should have paid better attention to the description but I bought it quickly based on the price and overall reviews. I do not think this is appropriate for preschool. The pictures are very detailed with a lot of pictures and a preschooler could never color that. Also, you need someone who can speak Russian to explain what the words mean. I don't really know who the target audience would be. I think a 7 year old girl might like it to color and then have someone practice the vocabulary, but I don't know many boys who would enjoy coloring it. Also, as kids get older you need a better book to have at least some verbs and expressions besides vocabulary. I see this more as a coloring book with some Russian vocab as a bonus. I am thinking of coloring it in myself, and/or copying the sheets and using them to color a little at a time, focusing on a few words at a time.

Fun supplement for your Russian studies.
Look, the Cyrillic alphabet isn't that hard to learn. I just watched a video on YouTube several times and learned it in a couple of days. You can also just go on google translate and see where the accent of each word is. I like that this coloring book doesn't have pronounciation suggestions using the Roman alphabet, because those are a crutch if you really want to learn Russian. What I have done with my daughter is practice each word, and then when we have the word down we color it in. We are also using other resources to learn other parts of speech (this book just has nouns) and grammar, including the declensions of the nouns we learn in this book. (You have to do that unless you just want to know how to point stuff and say the names). This book is such a fun component of learning Russian. Highly recommend.

Awful!
This book is for people that already know Russian. Not only that, it must be for Russian children. There are illustrations (just like the cover) that look like a coloring book along with the items corresponding names written in Russian over them. There are no translations for these words in English. I would highly recommend a phrase book if you are hoping to learn a bit of Russian. This would prove useful to you.

Great for improving vocabulary and learning variations on nouns
Excellent because the words are superimposed over the thing they represent, plus there is a dictionary in the back. Great for vocabulary (something my Russian teacher has almost despaired over!) I can take the words a few at a time and learn at my own pace with no need for a second dictionary or worrying about the six forms.

Bad Product
Highly overpriced with little usefulness.

very bad
It's a book for Russian mother-tongue children, definitely not a "effective way for students of Russian to build and strengthen their vocabulary"
