About this shelf

Choosing a first Russian book

Classic rhymes by Chukovsky, Marshak and Barto sit next to modern picture books, so parents can pass on the verses they grew up with and add new favourites. Delivery is $19 per parcel and free from $99 anywhere we ship.

Ships to USA: tracked delivery, usually 2-4 weeks after dispatch. Europe: 1–2 weeks. Free worldwide shipping on orders $99+.

Board books for little hands

Thick cardboard pages survive chewing and page-turning by one-year-olds; look for «картонная книга» or «книжка-картонка» in the title.

Rhymes before stories

Short rhythmic verses are the easiest way into a second language — toddlers remember them long before they follow a plot.

Build a small library in one parcel

Delivery is charged once per order, so three or four books for different ages cost the same to ship as one.
