He's 16 and taller than me now.so Frog & Toad wait in the ready for grandchildren to visit the house. In my opinion, every child should be friends with Frog & Toad.so I found an exact copy of the one I had as a girl and we read it many, many times when my littlest tot was still small. It isn't my original copy from 1972.but one I bought later for my youngest son. “I am going home now to bake a cake.I have an old 1970s copy of Frog & Toad Together that sits on the top of the shelves in my home office along with two other children's books that I have loved since I was a little girl. “Yes,” said Frog, “but we have lots and lots of willpower.” “Now we have no more cookies to eat,” said Toad sadly. They picked up all the cookies in their beaks and flew away. “Hey, birds, here are cookies!” Birds came from everywhere. He cut the string and opened the box.įrog took the box outside. “But we can climb the ladder and take the box down from the shelf and cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.įrog climbed the ladder and took the box down from the shelf.
