Title: Gina from Siberia
Author: Jane Bernstein
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Rating: **
Review: So, all I know about this book is that it is a true story based on the journey of a dog called Gina travelling from Siberia to the USA at the end of the Cold War. While I didn’t know this was a children’s book, I was expecting a graphic novel, so I ended up very disappointed with Gina from Siberia.
All this story was about is a dog’s thoughts on moving from one country to another and it doesn’t even contain any social and political commentary but solely focuses on the dog’s thoughts of losing her home and friends and having to make new ones in another country.
While I did think this would be a good book for children about learning to value the important things and that you can always make new friends no matter where you live, I personally felt let down because this wasn’t what I was expected when I requested the book.
