The Frog and Toad Collection

by Arnold Lobel

*****
This clever collection includes three books: Frog and Toad All Year, Frog and Toad Are Friends (1971 Caldecott Honor book), and Frog and Toad Together (1973 Newberry Honor Book.) Each book is filled with humorous short stories of these classic amphibian friends. My personal favorite is "Cookies," in which the pair struggle with their desires to eat all of the cookies Toad just baked. "We need will power," says Frog...then they come up with funny ways to try to obtain it! Oh how I wish I could be buddies with these two lovable characters!
