Bug stands on the right side of the image on a large tree branch, gripping the branch with her legs and grinning widely, looking excited and determined. The outdoor springtime scene features a large tree trunk filling much of the background, with green leaves overhead and lush green bushes and foliage visible in the bright, sunny background behind Bug.

Spring has sprung, and Bug longs to sing. She grips the branch and feels a zing!

Duck stands on the left side of the image, beak open wide and head tilted upward, singing joyfully in the rain. Duck appears happy and carefree, standing upright on a grassy bank beside a pond or lake. Bug stands on the bank to Duck's right, frowning with her mouth open and one arm raised in a correcting gesture, clearly telling Duck the song is wrong. Rain falls steadily across the scene, with lush green bushes and foliage in the background and tropical-looking plants in the foreground.

Duck sings a song and gets all wet. Bug yells, 'Not that one yet!'

Frog is sitting on the right side of the image on a muddy bank at the edge of a pond, mouth wide open and singing happily with black musical notes floating in the air beside him. He has a cheerful, joyful expression as he performs his song, with green grass blades and broad heart-shaped leaves growing behind him on the bank. The pond water sits in the lower right portion of the scene, showing Frog's upside-down reflection on its surface. The entire left side of the image is open white space above the curving shoreline, leaving clear space for text.

Frog sings a long, long song. Bug thinks the song is wrong!

On the left side of the image, Big Bird stands on a tree branch with her orange beak wide open, singing enthusiastically with black musical notes floating above her head; she has a round blue head and a tan-yellow body with pink feet. Bug, a small orange insect with antennae, striped belly, and pale translucent wings, stands upright on the same branch beside Big Bird, clapping her front legs together with a cheerful, smiling expression as she looks up at Big Bird. The scene is set outdoors during the day, with the branch extending in from the lower left, green leafy bushes in the bottom-left corner, a small light-blue cloud outline behind the characters, and the right side of the image left as open, plain pale-cream sky with no other elements.

Big Bird sings a long song. Bug likes it, but she can not sing for so long.

On the right side of the image, Sad Bird, a small blue bird, is perched on a thick tree branch with eyes closed and beak wide open, singing with black music notes floating above her head. Bug, an orange insect with antennae and pale wings, stands next to Sad Bird on the branch, frowning sadly with tears on her cheeks and both arms hanging down at her sides. Green foliage hangs from the upper-right corner, and bushes sit in the background behind the characters. The left side of the image is plain white background.

Sad Bird sings a sad, sad song. Bug thinks that song is wrong!

In the lower-left portion of the image, Crick stands with mouth open wide, singing happily with blue music notes floating above, one arm gesturing outward in a cheerful pose.

Crick sings a song full of zing. Bug asks Crick to help her sing!

The scene is set outdoors on a grassy hillside with bushes and trees in the background, under daylight. The top half of the image is open background with a teal-green color block on the right side.
