Anastasia Krupnik
Manage episode 430721527 series 2937778
Oh, for Pete’s sake, we can’t fathom why this book was ever banned! While it didn’t live up to Hawa’s spicy expectations, we thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the Anastasia Krupnik series by Lois Lowry. Our charming protagonist may just be the president of the Precocious Children’s Club.
In this episode we discuss the Krupniks’ parenting, the devastating effect of Alzheimer’s and our theories about what the heck is on Washburn Cummings’ T-shirt.
