5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect children's fiction January 6, 2006
Format:Paperback
The Frog and Toad series are the perfect classic for young children who are just old enough to read.

What makes the work so charming is that one can buy a brand new copy of it, and immediately it is like a pair of comfortable old shoes or a warm, over-worn sweater. Frog and Toad are friends, the kind of homey, down-to-earth friendship we all depend on. They are not flashy, bright, or cartoony. The pictures are a dull and easy brown and green, but capture cute variations in emotion between these two characters. They fit the ethos of the book: comfortable, casual, understated, and something you immediately want more of.

They capture the heroism and fears of a five year old. They are right on the mark for a young person who is just beginning to be able to comfort someone who is lonely or do battle with an overwhelming craving for cookies. Frog and Toad are two simple, helpless creatures who help one another through things that seem big to a child and unnoticeable to an adult. They worry about the things a five year old worries about. Parent readers will find themselves wanting to help Frog and Toad get by the way we help our own five-year-olds.

Lobel has noticed exactly what a child notices. He's gotten it just right.

For your beginning readers, these heartwarming stories of a child-like friendship between Frog and Toad are excellent, a fine complement to the Little Bear series, for example.

For the toddler being read to, these books also provide great delight. This daddy loves to read Toad's voice as a deep, slightly daft Englishman, while Frog's voice is, naturally, an outrageous French one. (It works--try it!) The stories are charming, affirm praiseworthy values (above all friendship), and are short enough to gauge your evening ritual precisely.

Highly recommended.

These books are something I recall from my own childhood. Nice to see our children enjoy them. They're short stories so they make nice bedtime reads.
