When done well, children's music and picturebooks go together like peanut butter and jelly on a child's favorite sandwich. Such is the case for song writer and storyteller Philip Pelletier's "One Night In Frogtown", the picturebook story of what happens when a saxophone-playing Tad the tadpole became determined to play music with the big frogs of Frogtown--only to discover that making friends can be harder than making music! Perfectly enhanced with the whimsical and colorful artwork of Verne Lindner, "One Night In Frogtown" is no ordinary child's picturebook, but comes with a music CD that can be coordinated with the storybook pages through the use of a 'ding' to tell young readers when to turn the page. Some pages are specially marked so that children can join in and sing the songs aloud. The CD also has a second track where the songs can be heard by themselves. The original and superbly entertaining and child-pleasing songs include Middle of the Road; Above It All; The Down Low; Alone; Frogtown; and more! "One Night In Frogtown" is a unique and enthusiastically recommended experience for kids and parents!
