I am glad to be “guest starring” in the audio-classical musical book, “’Ow’ Sang the Cow,” by children’s book author and illustrator Brenda McGrath, who lives in Beloit, Wisconsin. Check out some of Brenda’s illustrations by clicking on the photo album I posted. This book is being produced by experienced people such as:

Jon Davis, musican and song writer, and author of “Life, Inc.,” and “Stephen King’s America”;
Jeffrey Biegel, concert pianist, about whom Leonard Bernstein once said, "Jeffrey Biegel, who played some fantastic Liszt the other night at the St. Regis during the dinner in my honor, ... Is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer. I think you will be proud to present him to the public." What more can I say?

There are many other talented people who are working on the project. And children’s choruses from the Chicagoland and Southern Wisconsin area will be lending their voices.

Some of the proceeds will go to children’s hospitals and other children’s charities.

Before I read Brenda's book, "Skipper the Wise Quacker," I think the
last children's book I read (to one of my daughters) was "Winnie the
Pooh." And correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that A.A. Milne
was not altogether fond of children. He is awfully sarcastic. Worse
than I am. Brenda likes children. In fact, she loves them, feels their
pain and joy. And I am quite envious of her drawing ability. If I were to draw a tiger it would look like a first grader's orange- and black-striped scrawl.
Brenda's tiger peers out of a shadow and has green eyes. I look forward to being featured in this book.
