Oxford First Russian Words is a colorful, bilingual picture dictionary by David Melling, designed for young children (and beginners) to learn everyday Russian words through scenes of daily life, featuring dinosaurs and supplementary activities like games for counting, shapes, and opposites, helping kids learn around 400 words with illustrations and English translations, though it requires knowing the Russian alphabet for full benefit.
