"A FROG'S TALE" - A Musical Fable is a charming “Musical Storybook” for ages 3-7, narrated and sung in character by the author Kevin Gray. The main character "The Littlest Frog" is aptly named for his size, but as the story progresses, he experiences many adventures, characters and memorable songs along the way “up the hill, and home again.” The book is narrated in 10 Track segments, totaling 45 min. It can be read in two evenings, “Act 1” Tracks 1-5, “Act 2” Tracks 6-10 (22 min each); or read on an as-need basis by segment. For convenience the songs from the story repeat on Tracks 11-17.
