In a small shop in a snowy village in Russia, Nikolai the doll maker was carving his last matryoshka. From one piece of soft wood he shaped six nesting dolls, each one fitting inside the other. They all opened in the middle and were hollow inside, except for the littlest. She was the size of a bumblebee and she was made of the heart of the sweet-smelling wood. When the littlest matryoshka falls from the toy shop shelf, she worries she'll never see her sisters again. A little girl buys the remaining dolls at half price and takes them home. But the smallest doll won't give up, so she sets off on a perilous journey. She's carried off in a truck, swept along a stream, and caught in a waterfall. Will she find her way home? An Author's Note at the end of the book shares the history of Russian nesting dolls., In this tender, old-fashioned story, Nina, the smallest of a group of Russian nesting dolls, is separated from her sisters and swept along on a dangerous journey. gtin13: 9780786801534 brand: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers Reviews: "Like Nina, who was 'made of the heart of the sweet-smelling wood,' this picture book was crafted of emotional heart wood, and children will respond to its essential goodness."-- Booklist, "With illustrations quaint enough for Christmas cards, an author's note that explains the history of nesting dolls, and a story reminiscent of The Tin Soldier, Bliss's ( Matthew's Meadow ) picture book will especially please collectors of Russian matryoshkas."-- Publishers Weekly Item Length: 9.3 in Language: English Grade To: Third Grade Publication Year: 1999 Item Height: 0.4 in Item Weight: 13.5 Oz LC Classification Number: PZ7.B61917Li 1999 Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers LCCN: 98-036156 ISBN-13: 9780786801534 Intended Audience: Juvenile Audience Grade From: Preschool Genre: Juvenile Fiction Dewey Edition: 21 Number of Pages: 32 Pages Item Width: 9.4 in ISBN-10: 0786801530 TitleLeading: The
