About the Author
Arnold Lobel (1933-1987), a Caldecott Medalist, illustrated more than seventy picture books during his career, writing twenty-eight of them. He is probably best known for his four award-winning I Can Read stories, Frog and Toad Are Friends, Frog and Toad Together, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad, whose beloved characters have taught countless kids to love reading. These characters grew out of stories Arnold Lobel told his young daughter, Adrianne Lobel.
From AudioFile
This collection contains an abundant number of stories about the warm friendship shared by Frog and Toad. Whether the two are helping or teasing each other, being kind or being silly, their stories shine with Lobel's gentle and slightly off-beat humor. Read by the fatherly sounding Lobel, these stories are perfectly paced for the early reader who wants to enjoy the pictures, too. With Lobel's light touch and warm characterizations of Frog and Toad, this production contains hours of wonderful, whimsical fun.

Customer Reviews
A must have for Frog and Toad fans
I purchased this for our 5 year old son. He has truly enjoyed listening to the sweet stories of friendship. While we have the books, I agree with the other reviewer, you really do not have to read along to be entertained. We put the tape in our son's player and he listens while drifting off to sleep. Unlike some children's books on tape, this is done so well - the timing, clarity and voices keep your interest. This is a winner!!
Great stories for smart kids. 
The expression on the faces of my three and five year old as they puzzle, smile and nod over the adventures of Frog and Toad is something I think I'll carry with me for a long time. The kids are fully engaged with the audio CD, and can now follow along with the printed words when I read the same stories to them from the Frog and Toad books.
While Arnold Lobel has a calm, kid friendly reading voice, he never panders or talks down to the kids. I like that. I also appreciate the gentle, absurd wit that Lobel weaves into these stories. I'm not kidding when I say that I could see the skeleton of a Seinfeld plot in some of these stories. Makes it easier for an adult in the car to listen to, that's for sure.
An Excellent book tape for fans of Frog and Toad books
I am ordering this tape again for my four year old son. He listened to his first copy until it broke. It is fascinating to watch him listen to the stories with a half smile on his face as he recalls the pictures from the books. It is not necessary to read along to enjoy the tape. Mr. Lobel reads the stories perfectly. He clearly conveys the personalities of the characters without "doing the voices."
