Our Review

If you were me and lived in Russia by Carole P. Roman
My rating: 4 of 5 Moons

Lily says:

This book is about Russia and all the things to do and see!

Once again the pictures are amazing and my favourite picture was the one where they were talking about Moscow.

My favourite part in the book was when they were playing Hide & Seek tag in the park but they called it Fipe.

I learned that they go to a school called shkola and they eat lots of weird food that I can't pronounce and they play hockey but they call it Xoken.

I think that lots of people would read this book, its a great story and Carole P. Roman is an awesome and informative writer.
