The links aren't working for me. (Argh!) Could it be 'Gorky Island' by William Steig?Probably a stupid question, but it wasn't 'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame was it? There've been lots of re-prints. Possibly one with a peach tree on the cover?
neither of those but thank you for trying!it was a very defined cover (not cartoonish)
Is it something from the Frog and Toad series by Arnold Lobel? Most all of the covers have a frog in a coat under a tree.
I will look through them on the internet, but I don't think so.There really wasn't a whole lot of color. The tree was drawn in black and the peaches were colored (thats why they stand out to me), but not even all of the leaves were colored in.
Hmmm... probably not Frog and Toad, then.

This is a way out there suggestion:There is a series of very old children's books by Thornton Burgess featuring various animals. There is evidently one titled "The Adventures of Grandfather Frog". It's not listed on Goodreads, but I see by googling that there appears to be various covers. You can look at it here if you're interested: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14375

When i was young..probably in the early 90's..my father read my brother and I a book.
I recall it being a white or off white cover. There was a tree on it (a Peach Tree if i remember correctly) and a frog wearing a coat.
The book was worn when my father was reading it, so it may have even gone back to his childhood days (mid 1960's)
It was a longe rbook. he used to read us a chapter a night. Deffinitly kid friendly though.
I know it's a long shot but any help would be appreciated!!
