Frog and Toad are the best of friends and are always there for eachother. In the first story Frog is excited for spring and wakes Toad up. But Toad wants to sleep until May so he goes back to sleep. Frog, not wanting to be alone till May, goes over to the calender and turns it to May. He then wakes up Toad and the two of them go out to play. The second story is about Toad trying to tell Frog a story while he is sick in bed. Toad tries so hard to think of a story that he ends up getting sick, so the two switch places and Frog ends up telling Toad a story. Toad loses his button in the third story and makes Frog look everywhere for it. They find so many different buttons but none of them belong to Toad's jacket. When toad storms off to his house he sees his button laying on the floor. He feels so bad that he made Frog look for it that he takes all the other buttons and sews them on to his jacket. Then he gives the jacket to Frog. The fourth story is all about how Toad is too embarrased to show anyone his swimming suit that he makes Frog make all the other animals go away. But they are too curious to go away that they all stay and wait for Toad to get out of the water. When he finally does, everyone laughs at him because his swimsuit does look funny. Finally the last story in the book is about how Toad gets sad everyday at mail time because he never gets any mail. Frog goes home and writes Toad a letter, then he gives it to the snail to deliver it. Frog hurries over to Toads house to see his face when he gets a letter but the snail is taking too long. Finally Frog just tells Toad that he wrote him a letter and Toad is very happy. Four days later the snail finally delivers the letter.
I used to read Frog and Toad all the time when i was little and i loved them. i am happy to say that i still do. They are just cute little stories that have good morals to them.
the reading is easy enough that i would recomend this book to children who are just learning to read. i am sure they would enjoy them.
I dont see any problems coming from reading this book.
