Read-Along: The Frog's First Song

First, the world is all dark. A little bit muddled and confused.

The only sounds dripping water and small bubbles gurgling.

In that darkness and quiet, everyone is alone.

This is the world in the well.

And so begins the tale of how frogs came to croak in chorus at night-time. Inspired by Chinese parables and First Nations Creation stories, this story is a unique and melodic ode to taking chances, using your voice and coming together in song and dance. Written and read by Jazz Money and illustrated by Jason Phu. 

READ-ALONG WITH STORYBOX!
With the Read-Along version, kids can follow the story both with their eyes and their ears. As they listen to the fun narration, they’ll also see the words appear on screen in a simplified way, helping them connect spoken words to text. N.B. the read-along captions will appear for the book section of the video only.
