Once upon a time, there was a happy-go-lucky dog named Apollo. He seemed to have a lot going for himself, but he wanted more — especially when it came to food. Find out what happened to our greedy pup in The Dog and the Bone, the latest episode of YourClassical Storytime, featuring music by Edward Elgar and original illustrations by Nancy Carlson. (See more of her illustrations in the gallery.)
