Happy Leap Day (aka bonus reading day), Littens!

To no one's surprise, this Frog and Toad book was also utterly charming. Such a wholesome reading experience with lovely art.

4 ⭐ beginning, chapter book. It has a few words and big lines for those that are past Dick and Jane, but not quite to Mary Pope Osborne. Frog and Toad have lasted for decades for a reason. Their stories are about friendships and hope in sunny days. The book I was reading is older than I am, and yet it still has steam power in today‘s very full book globe. I love Frog and Toad and kids will continue to love frog and toad well into the future.

I was born in 1975, so I chose children's books published in the seventies. The bottom picture was me with my first Kitty.

Sick in bed and enjoying my son reading to me. I've never been happier to be sick.

Me too Toad. Me too.

PS Can you tell I'm catching up on all my about-to-be-due library children's books? 😉

Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel is a modern fantasy book. It shares stories about their adventures as best friends. This book goes through the seasons and is a great way for children to learn about them. It is a great book for children to learn conversational writing as well. The link provided is great to test students' comprehension of the stories: http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=frog-toad-all-year #UCFLAE3414sp17
