Frog and Toad are two friends whose similar appearance belies their distinctive personalities. Toad is impulsive and emotional, and Frog easygoing and rational. The two of them get into a number of scrapes and adventures together, most of which hinge on their unique character traits. Lobel's brief, easy-reader chapters spin out complex, suspenseful plots in a way that looks effortless but is quite rare. Embedded in the stories are subtle moral implications relating to character qualities such as...more

This book was great. Arnold Lobel has such a wonderful whimsical grip of the English language in this writing that it rolls rhythmically off of the tongue so effortlessly. I highly recommend it because it is fun even if you are not a juvenile reader. :)

As bed time reading with my son. Very good illustrations and the story line is very good. I have read the stories to him since before he could talk. It always kept his attention. Reading a book over and over again, and after all this time, not minding it, says something about its writing.
Ummmm, let's see. I have pet turtles who are named Frog and Toad. I have almost completely memorized the songs from Frog and Toad the broadway musical. Yeah. It's just that good. :)
This box set is one of my all time favorites. We laugh our heads off when we read this one. I loved these when I was a kid, and I love them even more now!

With James Marshall's George and Martha, Frog and Toad are the greatest of best friend duos in modern children's books. Not to be missed.
The most delightful set of tiny books in a box. I loved them, my children loved them, and now my grandchildren love them.
We love this book at our house. I grew up reading it as a kid, and my kids now love it, too.
Definitely easy to read. Cute stories that could bring up some questions for the class to discuss.
I loved this series as a child. Can't wait to read it to my kids!
Seriously the best EVER! LOVE LOVE LOVE Frog & Toad!
basically the quintessential book of my childhood...
I LOVED Frog and Toad when I was a little girl!
A Cute collection of Frog and Toad storyies
These are really funny!
Great bedtime reads

We've been listening to these stories in the car (on CDs from the library). The author does a good job reading them, with a pleasant score to accompany him. Sweet stories, each with some sort of cute twist. Nothing objectionable. And Noah asks for them every time we get in the van.
Note: At 3.5, Noah probably doesn't get the clever aspect of the stories, but he certainly understands the stories themselves and I don't have to explain them.

A charming book that is a wonderful introduction for 'chapter' books. It is very low key and quiet and is great for settling down.
Michael just loves these books and so do I. Each book has five short stories in them that are geared for 2nd grade readers. The stories aren't too long which is nice for when the child is trying to read the story on their own. They are also pretty entertaining since each story has it's own little plot. Now I just have to teach Michael how to read.
I read this series for my own pleasure, my kids just happened to be an excuse! Sweet and innocent like Little Bear
I actually enjoyed listening to this more than I did reading it. I never made it through one of these books when I was a kid because it seemed so dull to me. My daughter really enjoyed listening to the stories, so I will try and get the books for her to read and see if she likes them as well.
We have the whole set and even though Asher is nowhere near reading himself, he loves these books! Our copies are seriously worn out and I know every word to them. Once he's ready to learn to read himself, these will be pretty easy for him. His father also loved these book when he was little.
Frog and Toad were my favorite when I was little. Some kids read Winnie the Pooh or Beatrix Potter but I was always a fan of Arnold Lobel's series. I think this series is what taught me the value of friendship and why I find it so important now.
*favorite characters- frog and toad*
frog and toad enjoy all the subtle moments of friendship and nature. the drawings are softly natural and expressive, real pieces of art.a classic. and children really, really like these stories.

Frog and Toad Are Friends was one of my all time favorite books when I was learning how to read on my own. Now, the illustrations may seem a little dull to kids, but I will always love those funny guys.
I hold Frog and Toad very dear to my heart! These books topped my early childhood reading list. Even now, in my 30's, just the thought of my cherished Frog and Toad fills my heart with warmth.
I bought this hardback compendium of the Frog and Toad stories for Colin several years ago. The stories are classic, endearing, and enduring. It's our go-to bedtime storybook when all else fails.
The Frog and Toad books are my all-time favorite books from my childhood, especially Frog and Toad Together. My favorite story is Dragons and Giants. "Hello, Lunch."
