Arnold Lobel was the award-winning author and illustrator of many beloved children’s books, including the classic I Can Read Books about Frog and Toad, and Uncle Elephant.
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
A leggy green frog and a squat green toad do for friendship
something of what Little Bear does for kinship. — Kirkus
Reviews
In five brief stories Frog plays straight man to his best friend
Toad. Simply plotted and full of the give-and-take of
friendship...the illustrations abound in cheerful good humor.
— New York Times
A happy book, this collection of five stories recounts the
adventures of two best friends. The illustrations are so enticing
that they will lead any child into learning to read the words they
illustrate—again and again and again. You’ll see. —
