Summary: Titles in this collection
Comment: This boxed set consists of: 1. Frog and Toad Together, 2. Frog and Toad Are Friends, 3. Frog and Toad All Year. If you want the 4th Frog and Toad title, buy Days with Frog and Toad as well. Also consider author Lobel's Owl at Home. This owl is more like Frog and Toad in his silliness than the typical "wise old owl" depiction. My kids (6 & 3 yrs) both really enjoy the owl stories as well.

Summary: These Books Got Me Out of a Tough Spot
Comment: When my daughter Katie was small, I called her my "little toad." It seemed harmless and fun. It fit her bouncy, baby personality and made her laugh. All part of the joys of parenting.

One day when she was a little older, we were going through one of those worksheets that has kids classify pictures as real or imaginary. Katie did well. So when we ran out of worksheet I threw in a few of my own. Eventually I asked: "And what about toads?" "Imaginary!" she declared, with great certainty.

Surprised, I probed: "And what is a toad, exactly?" Katie smiled and her eyes took on a dreamy expression. "A toad is like a beautiful fairy princess with wings and beautiful hair and bright-colored dresses!" She beamed at me with the sure knowledge of the beautiful creature that was a toad. That was how her Daddy saw her.

I couldn't let somebody else tell her. Family stories take on a life of their own over time. I did not actually explain that a toad was like a frog, but is ugly, lives in the dirt and can't swim very well. But whatever I did say--I've repressed it--didn't help much. Katie ran to the couch and buried her head under a pillow. Her mother took over the comforting.

I was the worst parent ever.

These books were part of a long campaign to get Katie to like me again. They are friendly, interesting and--important for my purpose--cast toads in a fairly positive light. You can enjoy reading them to your child and enjoy the next stage when your child reads them to you. If used appropriately, they will help your child to have high self-esteem and a positive self image.

Summary: Frog And Toad Collection
Comment: This is a wonderful collection of books, perfect for my first grader to really get some reading practice. However, it was suggested to buy Frog and Toad are Friends along with the collection, stating that most people who buy the Collection also buy Frog and Toad are Friends. When I recieved the shipment I was disappointed to find that Frog and Toad are Friends is in the Collection. It would have helped to have the books in the Collection listed so I would have known to pick a different one.
