San Jose Public Library--Vineland Branch

In January, 2008, Anna and Beth told stories at the Vineland Branch of the San Jose Public Library. The program included Samuel Marshak's humorous poem, "Baggage," and Pyotr Yershov's tale, "The Little Humpbacked Horse." Both are known and loved by Russian children and all Russians who were--at one time--children.

"The young people in the audience were so pleased to hear their own language," said one participant.
