Description

A jaunty traditional nursery rhyme follows an adventurous frog who sets out in his opera hat to court the charming Miss Mousey. Along the way, he enlists a rat as a companion and arrives at Mousey’s Hall, where a visit soon turns into an evening of beer, singing, and cheerful conversation.

With its lively dialogue, playful animal characters, and wonderfully repetitive refrain, this is a spirited listen for children and families. The bouncing rhythm and nonsense phrases make it easy to follow and fun to join in with, while the sudden appearance of danger gives the tale a mischievous edge. Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic folk rhymes, comic storytelling, and memorable verses that invite a chorus of “Heigho!
