Returning from a riding trip through New England, Freddy the pig, Jinx the cat, and Samuel Jackson the mole are surprised at the cool reception they get from the people of Centerboro. It seems that some animals have been raiding gardens, stealing bicycles, and breaking into houses. And they'e led by a pig that matches Freddy's description! As folks grow more and more upset, the animals of Bean Farm urgently try to uncover the true culprits before Freddy gets thrown into jail. But to solve this mystery, Freddy and friends are going to have to find a way to defeat a headless horseman--with the help of their own special dragon. When you hear John McDonough's deep, growly voice, it seems immediately familiar. Listeners are drawn to the rich, warm tones of this veteran actor and singer. From Broadway to television and film, and from voice-overs to opera, McDonough's career had spanned the full gamut of acting experience. This memorable and entertaining actor has played the title role in the Glimmerglass Opera Company's production of Paul Bunyan. Time magazine raved that in his performance, McDonough's voice was a "cross between Walter Cronkite and Big Brother." In addition, McDonough has worked extensively with the Hartford Symphony. He has also played a role in Noye's Fludde that was almost impossible to top-this multi-talented actor was God. In The Preacher's Wife, starring Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington, he played a Santa Claus who almost steals the show. His favorite hours, though, are spent in the Recorded Books studio. "I can't believe how much fun this is," he muses, "I actually get paid for doing something I love." McDonough brings his unique experience to the written word. "I relate to everything in a musical context," he commented when asked how he views his spoken word performances. Currently, John McDonough is best known to the world as the new Captain Kangaroo.
