  1. Not a Shel Silverstein children’s classic. I’m surprised.

  2. I guess that's a little better than "Brenda's Beaver Bit The Barber."

    1. My wife and I just got done binge watching all seven seasons of Mad Men. While I could have done without most of the soap opera, the process of creating ads was fascinating. Mow the Lawn is great.

  4. There was a book signing by Brenda at Jeff Epstein's Paradise Island. Photo ops with Jeff, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and others for a fee.

  5. It's worth looking up a video of a reading of this book. It doesn't let up on Brenda's need for some beaver grooming!

  6. Wynona loved her big brown beaver
    And she stroked him all the time
    She pricked her finger one day and it occurred to her
    She might have a porcupine.

  7. Look at the illustrator. I'm not sure if that's his actual name, or he was too embarrassed to put his real name on it. "Some Guy In Bangladesh" indeed!
