This book is a great book for children to read because it shows them what true friendship looks like and most children are learning how to be friends when growing up. Children should read this because it is a happy story that they can relate to. ( )

This is a great story about two friends. It would be a great book to use in a friendship text set. You can also look this book up on YouTube and listen to and watch the images. ( )

[b:Frog and Toad|18085528|Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury 4 Complete Stories in 1 Volume!|Arnold Lobel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375144266l/18085528._SX50_.jpg|25396166] are wonderful, full stop. It's a collection of collections, with 4 parts, each of which has a handful (5?) of short stories. You can read the individual stories or go through them all back to back (as I did over the last few nights). The stories are thematically related, but there's no real plot between them, so no reason to read them in any particular order.

I think my favorite part of reading this is sharing just how wonderful the relationship between Frog and Toad is. They may argue sometimes, but they're always supportive in the end and really great friends. Also, I love doing voices. For me Toad ended up with a deep 'toadlike' voice and Frog somehow ended up being Mouse from the Matrix... Who knows.

Give it a read. They're adorable. ( )

This is a classic story featuring quotes from the original Frog and Toad books. Fans of the series will read the quotes shared by Frog and Toad with fondness. I would recommend this title for any collection. It is timeless. ( )

I have an old 1970s copy of Frog & Toad Together that sits on the top of the shelves in my home office along with two other children's books that I have loved since I was a little girl. It isn't my original copy from 1972...but one I bought later for my youngest son. In my opinion, every child should be friends with Frog & Toad....so I found an exact copy of the one I had as a girl and we read it many, many times when my littlest tot was still small. He's 16 and taller than me now....so Frog & Toad wait in the ready for grandchildren to visit the house.

I got an email recently from Harper Collins that said: Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Frog and Toad with new and classic stories. I had no idea it was Frog and Toad's birthday!!! Well -- Happy Birthday to my two favorite green buddies!!! (sorry Kermit....you come in 3rd, followed by Oscar the Grouch)

I logged into my library's site and checked out the Frog and Toad Audio Collection. This audio book gathers the stories from Frog and Toad are Friends, Frog and Toad All Year, Frog and Toad Together, and Days with Frog and Toad.

My favorite story is still In the Garden. Toad learns that gardening requires patience. There are times when I have been tempted to stand next to my newly planted garden in the spring and yell "Now Seeds....Start Growing!!!'' .....just in case Toad had a good idea after all. :)

The total running length of this audiobook collection is about 24 minutes. I listened while I cooked breakfast before going to work. What a nice start to my day!

I had a lovely visit with two childhood friends! Kids (and older fans of the green duo) would love this audiobook either to accompany looking at the art in the books or just the audio alone. Lobel reads in a very entertaining manner. It reminded me of the elementary school librarian reading to us while we sat on our mats back in the day.... :)
