Philadelphia, PA: Pravda Press. Item #1006

96 pages: illustrations; 23 x 15 cm. Text in Russian with English translation. First edition. A very good copy with a slightly soiled cover.

Tentatively dated to the 1940s, this richly illustrated and decorative work is designed to guide young learners from early writing and reading to poems and stories. Each page features English translations at the bottom. The text primarily celebrates countryside life, with the final piece being a nationalist poem, "Zemlia rodimaia! O, rodina! O, Mat'!" glorifying the motherland.
