Description
 
Join a boy and his stuffed-toy dog on a magical train ride. The pair meet endangered animals along the way--an elephant, seal, stork, tiger and polar bear--and invites them to climb aboard to safety. Each piece of the book's companion nesting doll illustrates a scene from the story, facilitating fabulous reenactments.

Production Techniques: Hand Painting/ Decoupage. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to a  workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as faces, which we print on a very thin vinyl adhesive. Such elements are reproduced original works of art we make specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist’s magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece. Finally they baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped “Made in Russia” and initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
