Brief description:

Arnold Lobel (1933-1987) illustrated many wonderful children's books but is most beloved for his Frog and Toad stories, including the first one, Frog and Toad Are Friends, published in 1970. The books have garnered much acclaim, including a Caldecott Honor for Frog and Toad Are Friends and a Newbery Honor for Frog and Toad Together. These were followed by Frog and Toad All Year and Days with Frog and Toad.

Review Quotes:

This book is termed an "easy reader," but in truth, it is poetry. Lobel's introduction to his beloved woodland pair, whose many books of adventure have endured for more than 50 years, is a lyrical meditation on the joys and challenges of friendship. It is wonderful to read aloud, and wonderful to hear--again and again and again. - Kate DiCamillo, The Atlantic 65 Essential Children's Books, 2025
