On the advice of a teacher we bought this set for our son when he was learning to read (but resisting reading). It's difficult to get boys to read, especially when they are starting out and therefore not very confident, but we found these books a treat. They push all the right buttons: the stories are self-contained and of a reasonable length; there is a simple but not patronizing vocabulary; there is repetition but it is not intrusive nor is it really obvious; and the two friends (Frog, who is

This is an I Can Read book that can be read in all the elementary classes. The pictures are colorful and the words are easy to sound out. Each adventure has a learning experience. Spring is learning about the seasons and months and what can be done in that season verses a cold season. The story adventure has many sight words in it and it shows what a story looks like and how it has a beginning middle,and end.The lost button was a lesson on different characters in the story helping to find the bu

My Opinion:
Five tales about Frog and Toad. Me and my daughter read through these stories then I let her read them by herself. My daughter is not a good reader and this book helped by having repetitive words for her. She could look at the words and know what they are. This is a great help with reading this years library list from her school. Since she is a bit behind on her reading this was the right level for her.

Three of the four Frog and Toad books in one volume. Frog is the eternal optimist and Toad the pessimist. They are really quite entertaining even for an adult.
Frog and Toad are Friends
"Spring"--Frog tries to wake Toad up because spring has come.
"The Story"--Frog is sick in bed so Toad tries to tell him a story.
"A Lost Button"--Toad loses one of the buttons on his jacket and Frog helps him find it.

I think the frog and toad books are good because they're interesting and they're about frogs that are trying to solve things that are sort of like mysteries. I like that they have mysteries, because mysteries are my favorite kind of books. Frog and toad are also cool because I like how they make their habitat and everything like a frog would be, the only thing that is unrealistic is mail and houses and beds.

One of my favorite childhood book collections that I was pleased to pass along to my kids. "The Story" ranks as one of our kids' favorite all-time stories, while I as a type-A organization freak tend to relate most to "The List." All of the stories are a pleasure to read, and the illustrations match the characters and plot perfectly.

I fondly remember Frog and Toad from my childhood and I was happy to share them with my own children. I have a selective memory though, and had forgotten about some of the wackier, not so interesting plotlines. Our favorites are The Liat, the one about Toad's bathing suit, and C loves the one where Toad yells at his seeds.

I enjoy these stories as reminders of the simplicity to be found in spending outdoorsy time with a friend. Also, I can relate to the characters. For example, one of them decides to plant seeds in his garden and is much impatient over the lengthy amount of time required to see them sprout! This is why I often buy "live/dead" flowers for my vases around the house. I am more easily gratified by the instant color and vivacity when I buy the "3 for $12" bunches at the grocery stor

This book contains some of the finest stories ever written for small children. And big children, like me. Although it uses small words, they aren't dumbed down. Although it deals with only two characters, it doesn't get dull. Charming, witty, and simply refreshing, this is a book anyone can own.

Elliot's go-to bedtime story. We read others, but he always comes back to frog and toad. Whether toad is looking funny in a bathing suit or waiting for the snail to deliver the mail, these books make him laugh and are a joy to share together. Over and over and over.

This counts as three books. Simple, clever, fun, endearing. Collections of short stories and adventures with two friends: Frog and Toad. My favorite is about ice-cream. Rec for K-3.

I don't know why I've never read any of the Frog and Toad books to my kids before. They loved them. This one has 3 different stories and as soon as we finished all of them my kids wanted to start from the beginning again.
My favorite is when Toad says, "Blah!"

We read these separately from the library, but I'm reviewing them as a group. These are great beginning reading. My son, who has a bit of trouble following a story, loves these and looks forward to our evening reading. He totally follows Toad's logic.

Book #7 of 2010. These were a favorite of J's as a child and I've been reading a chapter or so before bed to help us get to sleep. TBH, I did not read them as a child. Not bad. Some cute stories. J's fave is "Cookies", mine was "The Story".

Some of the greatest stories to read with the kid:) I sincerely suggest adults read children's books whether they have kids or not. There are a lot of simple truths to be gleaned:)

I remember this book when I was a child. I can't say exactly what it was about it, but I remember reading these stories over and over again and feeling a sense of nostalgia/comfort in them.

An old childhood favourite. Fun illustrations, great little stories. I remember feeling super grown-up when I read these as a child. And they're still great today!

Excellent books to encourage reading! The plots are complex enough to be interesting, populated with realistic characters... a big surprise in early reading books.

Frog and Toad books are currently Lizzie's favorites to read. She stays up at night to read--which is good and not good. I loved these stories as a child.

Structured less as a linear story than as a series of set pieces, "Frog and Toad" follows the seasonal routine of its titular amphibians, who are, as we well know, friends. Frog (Jay Goede) is the abler of the two; dressed immaculately in a silken waistcoat, he cuts the figure of a jovial English gentleman. His companion Toad (Mark Linn-Baker), meanwhile, is a bit of a goldbricker, a frumpy nebbish who would rather not be rousted from hibernation. Linn-Baker has the weaker singing voic
