Contents:
1. The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle is a popular English fairy tale. The
story features an old woman who's never satisfied and a spirited fairy who grants wishes and
sings, too.

2. Tug of War is our reworking of a West African folk tale about a porcupine with ambition.
He may be small; but he's clever. And musical, too! Listen and see who wins the tug of war.

3. Four Friends is similar to Grimm's Bremen Town Musicians. Our story is a retelling of
a Pakistani version. Four animals band together to find their fortunes. They find friendship,
too. We added a song for them to sing as they're travelin' down the road.

4. Wide Mouth Frog is a story which came to the United States from Africa. Listeners love
this tale as much as we do. You're invited to croak along on this one! Thanks to Bob Kanegis
for the words to the song.

5. The Cat and the Parrot is a tale from India. Our version features a greedy cat, his polite
parrot friend, and a cast of characters he meets along the way. There's a rollicking song
that'll have you singing.

6. Lion Takes a Walk is an African tale about a king of the jungle with a ba-a-ad attitude.
He walks through the bush to sing his song for the other animals; and, along the way he
learns a lesson in humility. Feel free to sing along!

7. Cuckoo's Reward, a Mayan tale from Mexico, is about a cuckoo who is very vain about
her good looks and lovely singing voice. The other animals think she's lazy; but, she
displays unusual bravery and saves the day for everyone. Then she really has a reason
to sing, if only she could!

8. The Little Old Woman Who Couldn't Get Any Sleep is our reworking of an Eastern
European tale. And you thought you lived in a noisy house! This woman has so much
noise in her house, she's a wreck! Sing along and see if she ever gets a good night's sleep.
