From the first enchanting story to the last, these five adventures of two best friends are filled with humor and tender affection.‘ Lobel draws with precision and ease. Whether Frog’ s country cottage or Toad’ s dreams of grandeur, the pictures make them real. And Lobel’ s words are full of insight into the concerns of small children.’ --Book World. ‘ Five tales that are a masterpiece of child-styled humor and sensitivity.’ --SLJ.
