Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury By Arnold Lobel: Book Review

Priceless. This is deep, touching stuff that you’ll read to your kids while thinking, I’m getting more out of this than them! Full of simple and non-preachy short, bedtime reading-sized stories with lovely pictures. Friendship, fears, worries, forgetting - then remembering - to be present in the moment, these are the themes of frog and toad. Seriously, if you want to be uplifted, inspired, brought back out of your less mindful moments, or reminded of the depth and importance of your friendships, this book is definitely for all ages. There should be a Church of Frog and Toad.
I love Frog and Toad. The characters are relatable, the stories are funny, and the illustrations are beautiful. The books are at the right difficulty level for a beginning reader to practice, but they're also amusing enough for parents to enjoy reading and rereading them with their kids. These are what kids' books should be.

This particular tome is all four Frog and Toad books in a high-quality hardback book. Nothing is compromised, shrunk, or abridged here. This is a big, 256-page book containing everything from the original four books.

I want to buy this for every kid I know.

Who doesn't love Frog and Toad? These sweet, simple tales of friendship and adventures resonate with the youngest of hearts, and reading them anew brings back such good memories of reading these tales with our own kids and now-grown grandkids. Now, our 3-year-old grandson likes choosing one special story from his own Frog and Toad treasury at bedtime. (And his mom appreciates that he knows the difference between each of them so he's not asking her to read the entire book every night!) Highly recommended!
