Привет всем! I found a storybook that is directed towards the elementary learner of Russian and is a compilation of short, fun excerpts in Russian as the title suggests.
The first part is composed of about 69 short excerpts. The second part transitions to pages of complete, page-long passages in Russian. This appears to be a fun learning resource and it would be great to have an accompanying audio recorded by a native speaker.
I appreciate your consideration of my request. Thank you! :)
Here is the full link to the book. Feel free to download for your own use!
