News From Froggy's Country Storybook
Froggy Teams Up with St. Jude's Children Hospital
Froggy's Country Storybook lent a hand to St. Jude's Children's Hospital recently by participating with New York radio stations Y107 and WRWD in the St. Jude's radiothon. Each year, radio stations throughout the nation conduct radio telethons to raise money for St. Jude's Children Hospital and Froggy has offered to work with many of the stations to bring needed funds to this worthwhile organization.
Froggy's Country Storybook donated copies of the four stories in the series to be used as incentive gifts for listeners and doners. The stories created quite a bit of interest in helping out St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
We were "hoppy" to help!

Third Froggy’s Country Storybook in Series Released
Featuring Country Music’s Hottest artist, Terri Clark
 |
Mamaroneck, NY--July 27, 1998--Virginia Records announced today that it
is releasing the third Froggy’s Country Storybook in its children’s book on tape
series on July 28, 1998. The classic tale of The Ugly Duckling features the voice of
country music’s hottest artist, Terri Clark. Virginia Record’s version of The
Ugly Duckling has been adapted to have a country flair and is hosted by Froggy, the
loveable treefrog character who is entwined into the series. It also highlights familiar
country music tunes including, I TRY TO THINK ABOUT ELVIS, IF BUBBA CAN DANCE, HOW WAS
I TO KNOW, TAKE ME AS I AM and others. "We are very excited about this exceptional cassette series for children," Joe Messina, President of Virginia Records said. "We are proud to produce this champion product for children that combines the hot country music artists of today with classic children’s stories, and yet achieves such a universal appeal." The Ugly Duckling is the touching tale of an awkward swan hatchling who feels less than sure of himself due to his size difference from his brothers and sisters, and because he has drab gray feathers instead of the usual white fluffy down. He searches the countryside for love and acceptance until the day he realizes he has grown into one of the most beautiful swans on the pond. Froggy’s Country Storybook is the first-ever narrated tape series of classic children’s stories with a ‘good ole country twist,’ and a great group of country mega stars helpin’ out with the storytelling. In addition to Terri Clark’s version of The Ugly Duckling, Pam Tillis lends her silvery voice to tell the tale of GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS while Bryan White’s youthful and exuberant voice recounts the story of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. Froggy’s Country Storybook includes a full color, follow-along booklet as well as an autographed photo of each artist that narrates the story. It is available in bookstore chains and various children’s specialty shops throughout the country and at K-Mart stores nationwide. Terri Clark is currently enjoying success with her biggest selling album yet. Her current album, HOW I FEEL on Mercury Records, is number one on the Country Music Charts. Clark was named the Billboard award Top New Female Country Artist of 1995 and is a three time Canadian Country Music Association Award winner. Clark is also the recipient of the prestigious Horizon Award bestowed by the Country Music Association. |
