Okay, I know I posted about this more than a year ago. But I've had no luck online or at the Russian bookstore near Lamcy, so I'm turning to EW again.

I'm looking for Russian books.... I used to read them as a child and would love to get them for DD and my nieces. I have one by Nikholai Nosov, pages now yellowed and beautiful. There are lovely books by Alexander Raskin (When Daddy was a little boy) and others. Has anyone seen them here? Or knows of a Russian store that will ship to Dubai?

When we were little, they used to have lovely book fairs in India where books from the Soviet were in abundance. So beautifully illustrated and so different. I miss those days :(

Oh AriVW, that will be so so so nice of her! But might also be a pain because I heard many books are out of print, so just second hand copies left. Though I'm quite happy with 2nd hand ones in good condition too. I'm looking for: "When daddy was a little boy" by Alexander Raskin, the cover looks like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ElZ2eFtMibo/Tabg_v-hc5I/AAAAAAAAAZo/1at3sfCxCJE/s1600/whendaddywasalittleboy.jpg (I found one on Ebay, but the seller's having some issues on shipping.) :( Mishkina Kasha (if its translated in English) by Nikholai Nosov. Actually, just anything that is illustrated and translated into English. Could you please drop me a line at [email protected] so that I can bore you a little more with my undying love for these books? :D Thanks for the links Princess_1, the Dr Seuss books are pretty common, so that's not a problem :)
