Books with author Olena Kassian

“Nicholas, you are ridiculous!” is a beautifully illustrated picture book about the silly antics of a Shiba Inu puppy. His young companion, who loves big words, follows Nicholas through a day of mischief and fun, as the little dog does all the doggy things that inevitably lead to disaster. All ends well, of course, and the reader is left with a warm and fuzzy feeling!
