A Frog Named Sam - Ben Rudnick & Friends - a musicwrap







Unwrapping ...








by Ben Rudnick and Friends


Leaping leapfrogs what a winner!  This brand new CD features award winning songs by the band like: "Race Car," "I Got a New Friend" and introduces many new other tunes that are sure to becomes classics such as "The Adventure Song", "When Something's Got You Terribly Blue", and "Macaroni and Cheese."

It is based on a book written by Augusta Supple, who lives in Australia and will now be featured in a children's musical.  

The story begins by a frog named Sam returning from a world tour exhausted and ready to float on his lily pad in his pond.  He is shocked to find his pond in total devastation.  It is overgrown and nearly waterless!  To add to his woes, an alien, named Tripp, crash lands into the his pond.  What is an exhausted froggie to do? 

The soundtrack recounts the story of a friendship that blossoms  between the two and how they work together to ultimately save the pond.  The music in this album is out this world fantastic. I highly recommend you get two copies (at least), one for your own family to enjoy and one to give away as a gift.  Fabulous music is the perfect gift that keeps on giving.

Not only did the kids love the show, but the parents (and the grandparents) were singing and dancing as well.” ~ Betsy Siggins Schmidt, Club Passim
