AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A twist on the song "The's a hole in the Log on the Bottom of the Lake" If you aren't familiar, the song starts simply with the hole in the log, and then each verse adds something. "There's a frog in the hole in the log on the bottom of the sea." 

Long has illustrated the song perfectly, but he has included a turtle and snail, with the turtle giving the most hilarious commentary! "Ew, there's really a hair on that frog?" Not just a read aloud, this book is a sing along - I can picture selecting a student to be the turtle. What fun! Includes the sheet music in case you need the guitar or ukelele chords and the notes. Now the song is stuck in my head!
