Featured Book: The Pup Grew Up! Written by Samuel Marshak; Translated from the Russian by Richard Pevear; Illustrated by Vladimir Radunsky. First published in the Soviet Union in 1926, this silly story comes from one of the best-loved children’s book authors of the Soviet era. Join us as we travel back in time to read a story that features a furry, four-legged friend (and then be sure to go explore Cats and Dogs in Soviet Art!).
