Since I’ve decided to base my entire aesthetic/personality on this book, I figured that I should actually read it。 I can *officially* confirm that I am Toad, and I am now accepting applications for Frog。 Serious inquiries only。
Munjiru,
Heartwarming stuff!

What’s funny to me is I remember this book’s illustrations so clearly but, as an adult reading it now to my son, I’m surprised at how small they are compared to the text。 Meaning: The images’ compact richness coupled with such silly, heartwarming stories of real — and really simple — love and friendship are a recipe for an unforgettable read。 A favorite: Toad’s button Odyssey and his loving gesture at its conclusion — you’ll have to read to see what I mean, but the lessons at work in this partic What’s funny to me is I remember this book’s illustrations so clearly but, as an adult reading it now to my son, I’m surprised at how small they are compared to the text。 Meaning: The images’ compact richness coupled with such silly, heartwarming stories of real — and really simple — love and friendship are a recipe for an unforgettable read。 A favorite: Toad’s button Odyssey and his loving gesture at its conclusion — you’ll have to read to see what I mean, but the lessons at work in this particular tale put it on a level with Aesop。 。。。more
Adam Westland,
I liked it because its kind of funny that on the last page it says that frog and toad waited a long time。 4 days later the snail arrived。。。。。I mean come on。。。。his delivery took 4 days straight。

This took me back! Such a great series I loved as a kid。

Literally me and my best friend。

Read this with my Kindergarten age daughter, who I homeschool。 She and I both enjoyed the stories, her for the first time and me with nostalgia。

I'm middle aged and can't recall reading any of the Frog and Toad books as a child。I love them。 Toad loves to eat, sleep, and is as anxiety ridden as I am。 I'm middle aged and can't recall reading any of the Frog and Toad books as a child。I love them。 Toad loves to eat, sleep, and is as anxiety ridden as I am。 。。。more

Read for the first time spring 2021 (not marking dates read because I don’t include children’s books in my reading challenge)。 I read this to my song and it such a delight! Beautifully illustrated, sweet stories about Frog and Toad。 A must-have for any child’s library
Jae Lin,
aww so sweet and gay <3

El libro "Sapo y Sepo son amigos" nos muestra una relación de amistad entre los personajes, donde se apoyan, se cuidan y se preocupan por el otro。 Muestra virtudes muy importantes como lo es la generosidad, el servicio y entre mucho otros。 Un ejemplo donde encontramos estos seria cuando Sapo se sentía mal y Sepo lo cuido, le dio de comer e intento contarle un cuento aunque no pudo contárselo。 Otro ejemplo seria cuando Sepo perdió su botón de la chaqueta y Sapo lo ayudo a buscarlo, aun que no sol El libro "Sapo y Sepo son amigos" nos muestra una relación de amistad entre los personajes, donde se apoyan, se cuidan y se preocupan por el otro。 Muestra virtudes muy importantes como lo es la generosidad, el servicio y entre mucho otros。 Un ejemplo donde encontramos estos seria cuando Sapo se sentía mal y Sepo lo cuido, le dio de comer e intento contarle un cuento aunque no pudo contárselo。 Otro ejemplo seria cuando Sepo perdió su botón de la chaqueta y Sapo lo ayudo a buscarlo, aun que no solo Sapo ayuda a Sepo, sino que muchos animales lo ayudaron a buscar su botón。 El libro seria llamativo para los niños y niñas que son primeros lectores porque las letras son claras y sus ilustraciones son fácil de entender, y la relación de texto e imagen nos permite imaginar más de lo que nos muestran。 También el libro deja imaginar como seria si los animales pudieran hablar y usar ropa y por ultimo es una colección de libros, creo que podria ser llamativo para los primeros lectores conocer más sobre Sapo y Sepo leyendo sus siguientes historias 。。。more

Show kids how friendship are and it is a really easy read。 One of the books that I personally read as a kid。 Frog and toad are very good friends。

Just perfect。

I have a friend, who I grew up with, who is convinced that Frog and Toad are gay。My friend is a gay man, so I often accuse him of projecting his beliefs onto unsuspecting puppets like Bert and Ernie and singers like George Michael (yes, he was the first person to tell me that my future dream husband and soul mate, George Michael, was gay, and I still hate him for that scandalous lie)。 He claims that Frog and Toad were early role models of his, and I am fascinated by such a notion, but, I must ad I have a friend, who I grew up with, who is convinced that Frog and Toad are gay。My friend is a gay man, so I often accuse him of projecting his beliefs onto unsuspecting puppets like Bert and Ernie and singers like George Michael (yes, he was the first person to tell me that my future dream husband and soul mate, George Michael, was gay, and I still hate him for that scandalous lie)。 He claims that Frog and Toad were early role models of his, and I am fascinated by such a notion, but, I must admit, I've always thought of them less as gay and more as amphibious。Growing up reading them, I never wondered at their possible sexuality; I could only admire them for their plucky independence (they lived alone in their own homes, with no parents!), and their freedom to stop whatever they were doing, mid-day, to sip tea with cookies (hey, maybe they were gay。 。 。 or perhaps just British?)。Either way, I think that maybe it's enough to anthropomorphize two chapter book amphibians by giving them classic 1970s style corduroy blazers and bell bottoms。 I mean, why make it more confusing than it already is?Whatever they were, they were two relatable sort-of hippies that became iconic figures of the 1970s and have lived on through all three of my kids' childhoods。 This is a chapter book, published 51 years ago, that doesn't feel one bit dated, unless you take their clothing into consideration。 。。。more
Hailey McCain,
Their relationship is beautiful and the origin behind the characters is so heart warming。

A delight and sweet for kids and adults alike。

"Frog and Toad are Friends" is a cute story about two friends who take care of each other and have fun together。 It is perfect for young readers in the 1st-3rd grade range。 Since I will be teaching 5th grade, I probably wouldn't keep it in my classroom, but I would if I taught younger kids。 It would be great to teach about how to be a good friend。 There are a lot of rhyming parts in it that would great for an English lesson。 It would also be great to do a project or book report over。 It could ev "Frog and Toad are Friends" is a cute story about two friends who take care of each other and have fun together。 It is perfect for young readers in the 1st-3rd grade range。 Since I will be teaching 5th grade, I probably wouldn't keep it in my classroom, but I would if I taught younger kids。 It would be great to teach about how to be a good friend。 There are a lot of rhyming parts in it that would great for an English lesson。 It would also be great to do a project or book report over。 It could even be used to act out!

A timeless and charming book great for your littles to start their reading journey with。 Simple sentences and lovable characters make this one of my favorite books to read with my neices。
Rebecca,
This book is a heart felt tale about a frog and a toad who have this special friendship。 The story shows the importance of having people to count on and how beautiful friendship can be。 I remember my mom reading these to me as a child so when I saw this it immediately took me back to that time。 But that's the wonderful thing about amazing stories you never forget it and you never stop loving it。 This book is a heart felt tale about a frog and a toad who have this special friendship。 The story shows the importance of having people to count on and how beautiful friendship can be。 I remember my mom reading these to me as a child so when I saw this it immediately took me back to that time。 But that's the wonderful thing about amazing stories you never forget it and you never stop loving it。 。。。more

Cute and wholesome fabulae
Sequoia Isaac,
I loved how they are almost one in the same but different in their own ways。 Great book to introduce to students about being the same but also different from one another。
Makenzie VanderHorst,
The tales are charming and relationship-based, so the child is exposed to issues of friendship through storytelling in a subtle way。 Frog and toad are one of the best classic books to read kids。
Tami Speakman,
This is a great book for early readers since the book uses many sight words。 The book helps children read/say the months as the frog changes the calendar。 The book also shows what animals do when they hibernate and how the old that is cold blood is sleepy when it is cold outside。 It is funny how Frog changes the calendar to the month that Toad said he will wake up for because he knows he needed to get up。
Kip E,
I bought this at a flea market for a dollar。 I've seen these two around the internet a bunch, but had never read a book of theirs as a kid。 Honestly all the stories in it were adorable (and im not just saying that because of my frog hyperfixation) and i'm definitely going to find the rest of these and binge read them。 I usually don't enjoy many "learning to read" books, probably due to the fact that im largely outside their demographic, but this one was really cute, and i regret not reading it a I bought this at a flea market for a dollar。 I've seen these two around the internet a bunch, but had never read a book of theirs as a kid。 Honestly all the stories in it were adorable (and im not just saying that because of my frog hyperfixation) and i'm definitely going to find the rest of these and binge read them。 I usually don't enjoy many "learning to read" books, probably due to the fact that im largely outside their demographic, but this one was really cute, and i regret not reading it as a kid 。。。more

I gave this book a three out of five。 It is about two best friends frog and toad and how frog goes to try and wake up toad in the spring but toad is not excited and doesn’t want to get up。 He tells frog to come back and wake him up in May but frog takes advantage of the fact that Tod has not changed his calendar since November so frog manages to get towed out of bed to admire the beauty of spring。
