[When Bullfrogs Croak] sparkles with witty lyrics and sonorous, inviting vocals...Morgan once again demonstrates a pleasing versatility.
-- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
A must have children's record.
--Knight Ridder News Services
Heading a host of top-notch musicians, Morgan vividly shapes each song, including kindred spirit Shel Silverstein's "Unicorn" and Cat Stevens' "Peace Train," with his warm, folk vocals.
--LA Times
With its catchy lyrics and singable tunes, singer-songwriter Zak Morgan's second CD is a hit. Morgan seems to be having fun while he performs, and listeners will do the same...This not-to-be-missed title will be appreciated by children and adults who work with them.
-- School Library Journal, Audio of the Week, 10/13/03
Morgan's trademark wordplay hops right out at you...fine writing and musical sensibilities...fun language and rhythmic rhyming...well worth the wait and will be enjoyed for years to come.
-- Chicago Parent
The music is intelligent, stylish and sweet, satisfying both short attention spans and mature tastes...The writing and arranging are at once both playful and majestic...Such attention to artistic and musical detail is what elevates this disc from must-have to heirloom status, suitable for kids of all ages.
--CityBeat
Morgan's real genius is he sings songs instantly relatable to both kids and adults.
--Cincinnati Post
Cross Dr. Seuss with Shel Silverstein, toss in a smidgen of a grade school educator, a G-rated stand-up comic and a folk musician, and you'll arrive at Zak Morgan, children's artist. The nationally sought after entertainer performs hundreds of concerts each year at auditoriums, festivals, and theatres.
Zak Morgan's eagerly anticipated second CD, When Bullfrogs Croak, was released in June 2003 and has been nominated for a 2004 GRAMMY Award. Also appearing on the recording are some of the most respected songwriters in the United States, including David Wilcox, Victoria Williams, and Robbie Fulks.

fun, uplifting and captivating
author: KimberlyWe had rented this CD from the library and I couldn't stand turning it back in, so we bought our own. CD baby's service was fast, and fantastic. My kids (ages 10 and 5) and I have such a good time listening to and singing along with the CD. When Bullfrogs Croak is a must have...and Bloom is great too!

Brilliant! My son has been obsessed with Zak for years. This CD is great! My 7 year old has had all the words memorized for a long time. I have been found listening to it when Logan is at school. We love "Bloom" and "When Bullfrogs Croak is even better". We can't wait for the next one!
ZAK CAN SING !
author: Beth SweeneyI'm a nanny of two..and listen to childrens music all day long..but I have to say I get most excited when the kids request Zaks Songs...!!! WE LOVE THE CD..GREAT WORK ZAK !
Great music while educating my children!!
author: Debbie CatelloMy children love the music. Then I noticed they are stating facts they learned from listening to the songs. My older son (7 yrs) has even taken the ideas one step further. He wishes there was a peace train that could go from country to coutry spreading the pieace. He also noted that in the insect world maybe being a boy was nicer than being a girl (referring especially to the mosquito)!
Love "The Unicorn"
author: fellow artistI bought this on a whim after learning of your Grammy nomination. I love "The Unicorn", great job on this song, very catchy! HUMPY BUMPY CAMELS!!!! www.burmusic.com
We love the CD!
author: Judy TWe love the CD!! My son actually looks forward to going to bed to listen to the CD.
Now I need some kids!
author: Todd HI haven't run into Zak since high school when we performed in music festivals together, and I have to give it up for some fabulous work here. Funny, upbeat, and from one musician to another, there is some fabulous fabulous playing on this disc. Get this CD for Zak's version of Peace Train alone! Pox of Chicken is hilarious and the jazz guitar on it is a gas. Kudos Zak! Todd H - http://toddh.net/music/
My kids love Zak Morgan
author: Amy HamelWhen Bullfrogs Croak is a great CD. My kids love the funny songs and I over hear them singing the tunes quiet often. I even enjoy listening to this cd on my own. I love this CD, it is AWESOME>
Refreshing attitude!!
author: Brother LukeI performed alongside Zak at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards. He reminded me of why I got into music in the first place. Along with obviously being fun, upbeat and funny, I think that his music serves as a beacon of hope that we need not take ourselves so seriously and mabye some of the other problems in our lives might fall into place. Peace out my freind!
great and funny
author: Maryann Van Braammy son is 5 his name is brandin, he say Zak at the Kenton County library at the fall festival and he loved him, and I liked him as well, he was very interesting to watch, and I got the cd at the library and my son loves it. And I am thinking of buying the cd for my son for xmas time. Zak keep up the good work and we want to see you again at the kenton county library back very soon.
I had to buy Bloom after hearing When Bullfrogs Croak.
author: DianaI bought When Bullfrogs Croak for my grandsons and wound up using the songs in a school program. So I had to buy Bloom. What a treat! Zak Morgan's music makes it easy for an adult to listen to what the children love. Bravo again!
I secretly listen to the CD while my kids are at school!
author: BethThe CD is terrific. My 7 year old heard Zak perform some of the songs at school - and she had to have it. Now her Autographed copies of Bullfrogs and Bloom are among her most prized possessions. I listen to Bullfrogs on her CD player while she's at school and I love it too!
Great for all ages!
author: NickiI absolutely LOVE this CD. I listed to the cuts of it on his webpage until I received it in the mail. My son is only 11 months so he obviously doesn't understand the songs. However, he enjoys the Cribling song which has little childrens voices in the couris and he loves the fact that I sing and dance with the music....of course, even my husband finds that funny!
We love it! It has among our top 3 favorites.
author: Roseann SquireMy children (ages 5 and 2) and I are thoroughly enjoying the tracks on this CD. Great car music, but also perfect for Family Room Dance Party.

five stars CD
author: JanelleI like when you sing the chicken song and when the bullfrog croaks!
I bought it for me!
author: Pete FreemanI'm 49 and heck with the kids! I bought this CD and "Bloom" for me! The story-songs remind me of those of Harry Chapin (except he wrote adult songs) because they evoke emotions as you listen - no matter how old you are! "When Bullfrogs Croak is Funny" and I don't see a 5 year old getting it - maybe a 9 to 11 year old, or an adult (like me). "When Cordelia Played" definitely brings back the story-song spirit of Harry Chapin ("Corey's Coming" for example). I can't wait for the next CD. Should have won the Grammy! Parents, throw out all that "Wiggles" stuff. Raise your kids on real music - Zak Morgan's!
My students love the CD.
author: Sue EllisMy students love the CD. They beg for me to play it. The title song and the Harry Potter number are their favorites. I like the Unicorn song. The third grade at Parkersburg Catholic Elementary highly recommend this CD.
--lyrics only equaled by the superb illustrations and glossary !
author: Chuck's MomToday's child is lucky to have Zak's music with grownup lyrics. His delightful tunes are equaled only by the superb cover by C.F. Payne and inside illustrations by Chuck Rekow. Congratulations to all of you !
I love it!
author: ErsI can tell you spent allot of time and effort on this CD. It has a sound that both kids and adults will love. I should know I'm a 29 year old kid. Keep up the good work.
This is THE GREATEST! My daughter LOVES IT!
author: Amy DoranThe CD was a Christmas present for my daughter, who saw Zak at her school. She became obsessed with it and sings the songs all day long! Thank you for making such a wonderful CD
