The Frog And Toad Collection Box Set

If you are teaching your children to read, this is a book that you can introduce to them. While they enjoy the moments of friendship, kindness and love between frog and toad they would have learnt how to read.

Classic with beautiful illustrations. Simple clean stories that tell so much about friendship, companionship, solace of nature and show how the best things in life are for free.

Very good collection of books.. good for a 6 to 7 yr old

Good book! well packed!

On the advice of a teacher I bought these for my son when he became interested in reading signs but still preferred to be read to and claimed he couldn't read. We would read them together: him a line, me a line. The characters and stories are very engaging, for both young and old, so one doesn't tire of them. Then after a couple of weeks of this, one day he picked up the book and read us a whole page, and within a week a whole story. Months later, they still remain his first choice to read to himself, and we have lots of fun laughing over the situations that Frog and Toad get into and out of, as they relate very well to a child's normal experiences (ice cream melting too fast, not wanting to get up in the morning) and form excellent non-moralistic talking points about situations, solutions and behaviour in general. I am now about to buy some more of the Arnold Lobel books and several parents at the school have borrowed from us, then bought their own, copies. There are some Americanisms in the books, but they don't get in the way of a story that British children can understand and come to love.

Absolutely enchanting stories, whimsically illustrated, of two great friends who do everything together. So funny and silly I laughed out loud several times and I'm 47! This is a wonderful collection, not quite all of the series however. I had to buy the last one ("Frog and Toad Together") separately. Any child will love these funny, silly tales where the love of the 2 characters for one another shines through everything they do.

I only came across these books recently, when a colleague brought them into the classroom. Wow, they are super! Simply charming characters (sensible Frog and daft,dippy Toad)and a series of situations in which the two friends find themselves. I originally thought I would use them for work, but they are not leaving my house! A really lovely find (the illustrations are superb as well).

Fantastic. I love love these books. Bought for my child learning to read. Super!
