A Catchy Rhyme

My daughter (4 1/2 years) was mesmerized by the "Matreshka, Matreshka, I may be small, but I'm not the smallest one of all" rhyme repeated in the story. She collects matryoshka dolls and spent days recreating the story. This is a great story for anyone who loves nesting dolls or small things. It emphasizes that sometimes being quite small is an advantage.
