Review:
Bronte & Frank Go To Moscow is a sweet story for young children. It's interactive so it will keep their attention. The drawings are cute and child-like.

When I got an email asking to review this book, I was a bit cautious. I'm by no means a children's book reader. But as soon as I saw the book, I was excited to give it a try. 

This is a great book, especially for family actually traveling to Moscow. The inside cover has emergency numbers and informational websites and medical information for the city. That is a great reference for children and adults alike. It talks a lot about the buildings and culture in Moscow. It even includes the written Russian language. Very informative for a children's book. This is the kind of book that I'd like my children to read. They can learn about the world, while developing reading and writing skills.

I appreciated the glossary at the end of the story.The way the story incorporated the Russian wasn't seamlessly done, but the glossary made it much easier to understand. It is a great way to go over foreign vocabulary with your children and a fun way to learn a new language.

At the end of this book, there are some activities for little kids. There is a place to practice writing phrases in Russian and English. There is a page about the emblems and flags to view and then color in. Plus a page for putting stickers where your children have been! There is a lot of coloring for kids to do and even a place to write about their travels.

Bronte's interactions with Frank were very sweet. I remember having a teddy bear that I was extremely close with when I was a child. 

The book is cute and definitely a good book for kids. I think they will enjoy this, mostly in preparation of a travel themselves.

I received a copy of this book from JKSCommunications for my honest opinion and review.
