Book of the Week - Week 3: Frog and Toad Are Friends

Week 3 brings you a great book for younger and older kids. Frog and Toad books are great stories for everyone, there are four books in total and each have multiple short stories. They are great for bedtime or a low key couch sesh, enjoy the simple stories about two characters who love each other kindly.

Frog and Toad Are Friends book cover, by Arnold Lobel

I wrote this once before but didn’t save it and now I don’t have as much energy to be creative or clever, the original draft was something special. Frog and Toad Are Friends is classic, it feels like stories from that era (60s/70s) and it is a real contrast to some of the modern kids content. There are no big bad villains, no explosions, no surprises every 5 seconds, just nice tales about friends.

  • Title: Frog and Toad Are Friends

  • Why we like it: Two characters doing simple daily tasks and going on adventures while treating each other kindly and lovingly. Calm enough to help move bedtime towards sleep and an extra bonus, there is a new TV show that is equally low stimulation!

Best,
