Grab your flashlights and get ready to play with shadows! Stuck-at-Home Storytime presents a fun story about a frog who was very excited that it was spring: The Dark, Dark Night.

He spends the whole day playing with his friends until finally it gets too dark to play any longer. Frog heads home to his pond. But when he gets home - EEK! - he meets a HUGE pond monster! Will he ever swim in his pond again? Will his friends come to his aid? Will they figure out who the pond monster really is? Let's find out!
