Kashtanka;

Based on a new translation and adapted especially for young readers, Kashtanka is an enchanting introduction to the work of one of the world’s foremost authors. Gennady Spirin’s award-winning illustrations bring new life to this adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s charming adventure. “Altogether, this is a beautifully rendered, thoroughly appealing title and another feather in Spirin’s already crowded cap.”--School Library Journal
