Our kids have been listening to Ben Rudnick & Friends albums for years and always enjoyed them. "A Frog Named Sam" is no exception. The kids are 7 and 9 years old, and still haven't outgrown the fun of listening to these upbeat, sometimes quite original, sometimes quite traditional, toe-tapping, body-strapped-in-car-seat-bopping songs. Other family favorite albums from Ben include "Blast-Off!", "Emily's Song" and "Fun and Games".

What Parents Need to Know
About A Frog Named Sam
Parents need to know that this is a retro, swingin' CD that draws from lots of traditional American music styles to make a kid-friendly compilation perfect for the toddler and preschool crew. Kids will get an intro to bluegrass, roots, and doo-wop music while listening to stories about fish, frogs, and racecars as sung by the fatherly Ben Rudnick and his musical friends.
