Product Description
From writing letters to going swimming, telling stories to finding lost buttons, Frog and Toad are always there for each other, just as best friends should be.
Amazon.com Review
Frog and Toad agreed: it was a perfect day for a swim. And Frog was kind enough not to look at Toad in his bathing suit, per Toad's request. But when the swimming was over, a crowd had gathered to see Toad in his funny-looking suit, and neither Frog nor Toad could make them leave. The endearing pair hop along through five enchanting stories, looking for lost buttons, greeting the spring, and waiting for mail. Their genuine care for each other makes Frog and Toad two of the finest amphibious role models around. Young readers will chuckle with Frog as they watch Toad's silly efforts to make up a story. And they will applaud Toad as he finally wakes up after hibernating all winter. The fifth story will warm the hearts of any would-be pen pal--or anyone who has ever known what it's like to have a true-blue (or green) friend. Arnold Lobel's comfortable brown and green illustrations invite and delight every reader, setting the tone for warm, funny stories about friendship. A Caldecott Honor Book and finalist for the National Book Award for Children's Literature, this installment of Lobel's classic Frog and Toad series is another essential addition to any youngster's shelf. If you need even more of Frog and Toad, don't miss Frog and Toad Together, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

In this installment of Frog and Toad, it focuses on friendship. Charming short stories and nice graphics compliment each other well.

I aways say the frog and todd should stay in your heart until you have children. This is a great book for kids 5-8 yrs. old.
A Timeless Collection June 10, 2009
Si Sheppard (Larchmont, NY USA)
In an age of first-person-perspective gameing, twitter, and interactive wizardry, its amazing that the simple tales of a pair of anthropomorphic amphibians can still hold a child's attention. But my two-year-old twins love the five adventures of Frog and his silly best friend Toad:
In "Spring" Frog has to convince the sluggish Toad hibernation time is over - by devious means!
In "The Story" the well-meaning Toad's efforts to comfort his sick friend Frog backfire when he can't come up with a bed-time story.
In "The Button" the hot-tempered Toad learns an important lesson when he finds the lost button from his jacket in the last place he looks. Children will enjoy picking up on the opposites in each of the buttons Toad's friends find for him.
In "A Swim" the self-conscious Toad becomes the unwilling center of attention at the river - who could resist a chance to see his silly bathing suit?
The best story is saved for last. "The Letter" is a wonderful, simple tale of true friendship. When Toad laments no-one ever sends him mail, Frog dashes home and pens a letter to cheer him up. His choice of courier illustrates the perils of sending correspondence by the original "snail-mail"!
Each story is twelve pages long and takes about five minutes to read. The text is very correct, with no abbreviations ("we will", not "we'll": "here is", not "here's"). An illustration on every page helps anchor discussion of the text with your little one ("how does Toad feel about losing his button"? etc.)
Highly recommended!
