I Heart Frog and Toad {Giveaway}

Frog and Toad...

Do you know them?

We had friends stay with us this week and they have small children. They said goodbye this morning, and as I was picking up toys later on, I picked up the copy of Frog and Toad Together that was lying on the floor.

Let me introduce you.

Frog and Toad are friends, and they do everything together. Frog is the more sensible of the two. He helps Toad get along. And Toad does all sorts of wonderful things like wear a funny looking bathing suit (in which he is self-conscious), bake cookies (he wants to eat ALL of them), wait for the mail, and sing to his seeds to encourage them sprout.

I think there’s a little Toad in all of us.

But where would Toad be without his steady friend, Frog? Together, they go on adventures (even if it’s just to feel brave). 

One of my favorite Frog and Toad stories is the one in which Toad decides to make a list of all the things he needs to do in the day (sound familiar, moms? I’m a list kind of gal…). Only, the things on Toad’s list are things like: “Wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, take a nap, visit frog, play games with frog, eat dinner, go to bed.” I need a day like that…don’t you?

Only, Toad loses his list, which causes great distress.

But in the end, of course, he and Frog figure out a happy ending (I’ll let you read the story!). 

And since I love Frog and Toad (and YOU), I am giving away a copy of “Frog and Toad Together” to one of my readers! This is great if you have kids, and great if you don’t. Everyone needs a little Frog and Toad in their lives.
