"You know, Toad," said Frog with his mouth full, "I think we
should stop eating. We will soon be sick." "You are right," said
Toad. "Let us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop." Many
"last cookies" later, Frog and Toad come up with an ingenious
solution to their uncontrolled cookie consumption.
This pair of amphibian pals likes to do everything together,
from list making to flower growing to dragon vanquishing. And when
Toad bakes cookies one day, the two try to develop willpower
together. The Frog and Toad series, including Frog and Toad Are
Friends, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad, is
perfect for new readers. Simple text and charming, frog-hued
pictures combined with sensitive, funny, original stories show
children what real friendship is all about. This Newbery Honor Book
perpetuates and confirms Frog and Toad''s status as children''s
classics. Ages 4 to 8 --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to the
Hardcover edition.
