GENRE: Juvenile
FIRST SENTENCE: Frog ran up the path to toad's house.
SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] The inseparable Frog and Toad are introduced to readers through five wonderfully silly adventures. Like an innocent Laurel and Hardy, the two amphibians show the true meaning of friendship - Toad tells stories to Frog when Frog is sick, Frog helps search for Toad's lost button, and Frog writes a letter to Toad because he never receives any mail. These marvelous tales touch both the heart and the funny bone.
THOUGHTS: This is a rather rollicking story about friendship. I liked how the author dropped pearls of wisdom here and there that easily translate outside of this story. The illustrations are rather subdued but come across as lively and full of emotion. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I apparently missed reading all the classics as a child.
RATING: 5/10 [Meh]
