When I was but a wee Professor my father got me a recording of Sterling Holloway narrating _Peter and the Wolf_, with an accompanying book. I learned to read from that book. I particularly recall Sterling spelling out “W-O-L-F, Wolf!” One of the characters in Disney’s version is **Ivan The Cat,** performed on the clarinet, “in a very low register.” Has anybody else seen it, or am I just too old?
