I love choosing books specific to a location when we're learning about or traveling to that place! Some of these books are completely set in one place and others are only partially set there. Either way, happy reading!

Snow outside the window! Wonderful! And in my Siberia there was little snow, a thin layer, but yesterday it finally attacked!
ReplyDeleteI picture Siberia being snow-covered every day of the year, like the arctic! I guess not 😆
Delete😄😄😄Yes, I know that many in other countries see Siberia in this way. We have snow begins to fall in November, but first it falls and melts. By the middle or end of November, a snow cover forms. So far this year there has been little of it, but now it has begun to fall out. And the snow begins to melt in the spring, in March. In April it is gone. April and May are the time when everything blooms and blooms. And in the summer, especially in July, there is a terrible heat. In general, I live in the city of Novosibirsk, it is considered the heart of Siberia.
ReplyDeleteI never imagined Siberia being hot EVER! I believe it, I suppose everywhere has at least a little bit of change with the seasons! I just have to reimagine everything now. =D
