I love India Rose Crawford‘s Frog and Toad pictures so very much!!
“The Toad began to bang his head against the wall.“
I like how this book provides me with the opportunity to talk about the concept of friendship with my students and how to support others in times of needs.
so-soArnold Lobel‘s Frog and Toad Are Friends (1970) is a heartwarming collection of stories about friendship, kindness, and everyday adventures. Lobel‘s simple, expressive illustrations perfectly complement the text, using soft lines and gentle colors to capture emotion and personality. The art enhances the humor and warmth, showing subtle gestures and expressions that bring Frog and Toad‘s friendship vividly to life.

TIL that my hometown was “born” on a Leap Day. So, even though Worcester is technically 176 years old, it‘s actually only 43. That must be why everyone I know from home looks younger than their years (myself included 💁♀️).
I also learned that years divisible by 100 but not 400 are skipped (to make up for decimals of time).
AND that (unlike frogs) toads don‘t have webbed feet. Just FYI. 🐸😅
Happy Leap Year!
