Hay :)

I have several grammar books, dictionaries, phrasebooks - for learning Russian. But it would really help me to have simple stories to work with since I pick things up better though reading rather than brute memorization (surprise that!). I do have some stories to translate but they are too advanced for me to understand at this time.

I'm curious about children's books instead. I'm thinking of things like I read when I was learning to read English. Books that are fairly self-explanatory with lines like "Jane has a cat. Jane holds the cat." You know?

Can anyone recommend me books like this?
Does anyone perhaps have old children's books like this? - I'd be happy to purchase them from you.

spasibo :)

Old good букварь that we all used in the 1st grade would work (мама мыла рамы). No idea where to find it online, though.

A friend laughed at me last night because I was looking for a copy of War & Peace in Russian. This after only taking half a semester of classroom Russian.

Heh. I'm a loser.

Wow. You rock.

I don't suppose you have a book-on-tape version? =P

Спасибо!

book-on-tape (as I understand it's read-aloud version) of course I don't have ;-)

Пожалуйста ;-)

It's about 74 hours long. No one probably is sane enough to listen to the whole narration.
