FROGGY BAKES A CAKE

Julia Child would have had a soft spot in her heart for Froggy's exuberant plan to bake his mother a birthday cake. Froggy adds ingredients with abandon, and when delicious smells waft through the kitchen, Froggy eagerly waits to taste the results. This recording is vintage Jonathan London and John McDonough. There is the signature point at which Froggy is more red than green and several features designed to please children, this time the extra special chocolate-covered ants and coveted Halloween candy that Froggy includes to surprise his mother. The pièce de résistance is McDonough's deep, rich voice, which allows each Froggy detail to shine in its own light. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
