If you're looking for high quality, original music that will appeal to the whole family, look no further than When Bullfrogs Croak — an inspired, verbose, and witty children's recording by independently-produced Zak Morgan.

In The Cribling, a new sibling bemoans the attention his new baby brother is getting from his parents, and after he cries "My mother hugs him more than me!", children call out "Your mother still loves you!". Story songs include topics such as the frustrations of chicken pox ("a nasty scratchy birdie/but it won't make you grow feathers"), an ode to apples and freedom, and the story of a lonely and talented young girl. Shel Silverstein's The Unicorn and the rousing Cat Stevens' Peace Train are included, while the remainder of the recording features Zak Morgan originals. 

The ample CD insert is as colorful and imaginative as the recording: full lyrics, illustrations, and even an "unabridged dictionary" that covers some of the fun words used in the recording, are all here. 

Witty and wordy, this recording is sure to capture the imagination of children of all ages.

Dollar Value
The audio CD retails for approximately $13 US.
