About this title

From the Publisher:

Read what teachers have to say:

"I wanted to thank you for the great book! My kiddos have learned the staff and it has blown me away! I will be ordering the book, flash cards, and puppet for the school! As soon as you know of another book coming out, I am ready for it! My kids are ready too! Freddie is the most popular kid in my class! I am truly amazed at how quickly the kids have picked up the Staff and notes! I just "quizzed" my Kindergarteners by giving them a staff and having them fill in where everyone is, and most everyone got 100%! It was awesome! Please, oh, please, we are ready for a 2nd Adventure!! Thank you so much for giving me the tools to help my kids blossom and learn in such a fun way!"

From the Inside Flap:

"BUM, bum, bum, ba, BUM, bum, bum, ba, BUM....Yeah!"

Freddie is a frog who lives with his parents on Treble Clef Island. He is awakened in the middle of the night by a strange thumping noise. He bravely climbs outside the safety of his tree house to face his fears and investigate. Frog-eating crocodiles, a swinging wood and rope bridge, and a humongous gray monster are all part of Freddie’s adventure as he explores the island in search of the thump. Just when he thinks all is well, Freddie impulsively lands in another adventure-- with a crocodile!

Through Freddie’s adventures, the reader is introduced to the treble clef staff as a map of where Freddie lives. Various lines and spaces represent each part of the story. The staff comes to life through Freddie and the reader’s imagination.

Freddie the Frog and The Thump in the Night is the first of several adventuresome stories introducing the fundamental concepts of music. Join Freddie as he explores the Sea of Music and its many islands of musical concepts come to life.
