Frog and Toad are Friends

Description

Celebrate the power of friendship with Frog and Toad—a Caldecott Honor Book!

From writing letters to going swimming, telling stories to finding lost buttons, Frog and Toad are at all times there for each other—just as best friends must be. These five adventurous tales are ideal for Level 2 beginning readers.

The classic Frog and Toad stories by Arnold Lobel have won a lot of awards and honors, including a Newbery Honor (Frog and Toad Together), a Caldecott Honor (Frog and Toad are Friends), ALA Notable Children’s Book, Fanfare Honor List (The Horn Book), School Library Journal Best Children’s Book, and Library of Congress Children’s Book.

Frog and Toad agreed: it used to be a perfect day for a swim. And Frog used to be kind enough not to have a look at Toad in his bathing suit, per Toad’s request. But when the swimming used to be 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, on the lookout for lost buttons, greeting the spring, and waiting for mail. Their genuine handle 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 are going to 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.
