Frog and Toad were a delightful duo that many children first learned about in the "I Can Read" series of books. You may have learned about being a best friend through this books all the while laughing at their antics. These classic books are still around, but now the discovery of a "lost" book will thrill you. No, we won't see a full story, but rather some wonderful, whimsical rhyming stories.A Toad Was Feeling . . .A toad was feelingSad and grumpyBecause his skinwas rough and lumpy."My skin is bad,"Said he. "I'll hide it.'He bought a coatand jumped inside it."And now," he said,"I do not worry . . .Outside I'm nicelySoft and furry."I love these little miniature portraits of frogs and toads and think they would nicely compliment the original Frog and Toad books. In the front of the book Adriane Lobel discusses how these little "stories" were lost and rediscovered. She also briefly discusses her father, Arnold Lobel, and how she had to "shake [herself] of fear and to produce watercolors with the same freedom and effortlessness that approached" that her father used to create. I think she did a marvelous job and this book is worth adding to your timeless collection of Lobel books!
This is a beautiful little book put together by Arnold Lobel's daughter. She colored his private sketches for little poems he wrote before the Frog and Toad series was published or written. They aren't quite children's poems unless you have a bright eleven-year-old, but certainly suitable for any adult who needs a smile.
This series of light and simple stories/poems is a must-have for any fan of Lobel's classic Frog & Toad series. While the frogs & toads in these poems are not "the" Frog and Toad, the whimsical language and artwork will be immediately familiar to fans of the books.My son enjoys reading these poems as much as he enjoys the Frog & Toad stories themselves.
Great reading fun for small children. As a dad of a 3-yr old book critic, I'd say that both she and I recommend it!
Our family is familiar with the early-reader format of Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad stories, which we love. So this collection of rhymes caught my eye during our most recent library visit.The little poems contained in this book are simply charming. They're clever. Funny. Sweet. They are everything you'd expect from Arnold Lobel. My almost 4-year old would pause to think after each one, then laugh and laugh once she "got" the humor.In the book's introduction, Adrianne Lobel says these poems are the "first time [Arnold Lobel] wrote about frogs and toads." They are a foretaste of the stories to come; you can feel the same light, friendly spirit found in the beginning readers. Adrianne added her own talents in watercolor to her father's line illustrations, resulting in a beautiful "new" Arnold Lobel book for little ones (and parents!) to enjoy."Bright Green Frog" is my personal favorite. I ended up sharing it with my clarinet-playing colleagues!
I purchased this as a gift for my friend to read to her baby. She loves frogs and toads so I thought it would be well-accepted. I love the little rhymes. They are fun, but send a good message too. I think she will enjoy reading them and her son will enjoy them as he gets older.A nice hardbound book.
