My Little Matryoshkas -- For years, matryoshkas—Russian nesting dolls—have captured the imaginations of children all over the world. This interactive novelty book is illustrated with authentic Russian folk art and features the days of the week with push-out dolls. This unusual format encourages children to invent stories, play games, and put the dolls in sequential order before putting them back into the book. New words to a traditional children's song introduce readers to the unique food of eastern Europe.

Tanya Roitman holds an M.F.A. from the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her artistic career started when she took a job with the St. Petersburg Russian Circus. Since then, she has illustrated more than fifty books for children. Tanya currently lives in New Jersey.
