A Literary Journey, or In Search of the Great Ko

“PRESENT MATERIAL (INFORMATION) PRODUCED BY FOREIGN AGENT BYKOV DМИTRIY LVOVICH, INCLUDED IN THE REGISTER OF FOREIGN MEANS OF MASS MEDIA CARRYING OUT THE FUNCTIONS OF A FOREIGN AGENT 29.07.2022.” Audio studio “Ardis” presents a unique collection of audio plays for children. Easy, as if playing, children will plunge into a bright and fascinating world of knowledge—famous artists who took part in recording the performances will help them.

Two heroes—Masha and Petya—accompanied by a kind familiar friend, Professor Vladimir Sergeyevich, go on exciting journeys through space and time, again and again. The professor is ready to answer all the kids’ questions. But sometimes something goes off plan…

On this trip across the country of Literature, the heroes will be guided by a bookish character—the scholar cat. He will introduce listeners to different literary genres; they’ll meet the heroes of books, end up in difficult and dangerous situations, and so much will depend on their choices.
