The Cow That Meowed
by Hal Mahan; illustrated by Susan Peterson

This is a book for beginning readers (and adults who like to share a book with children). The story is about tolerance, using farm animals as actors. It deals with the question, "What if I could be someone else? Would I be happy or sad?" It teaches the power of individuality and expression.

The whimsical, yet detailed, illustrations by Susan Peterson bring this book to life and will spark the imagination of any young reader or listener. Hardcover, 42 pages, full color illustrations. Published by Grateful Steps Publishing House.

READER COMMENT:

"Well, this morning I read your book, The Cow That Meowed," to the children. It was a "WOW"!! The children absolutely got engrossed in the story. They especially liked all the animal sounds. There was a lot of interaction, as I had them animate the animal voices/sounds along with me as we read the story. I find children like to hear a story that they can interact with and become part of as well."
