Genuinely curious how this would have been perceived upon publication in 1970. But now, hey! Queer-coded, cottage-core, supportive-yet-snarky, this mfer nailed a chunk of the future in a weird way. It's a meme machine even, at a meta level. Mostly tho, it's just a warm blanket of a book.

This book of short stories about Frog and his friend Toad is a time-tested classic and a good addition to any collection. Frog and Toad may not be having the kinds of adventures where they end up saving the world, but their stories of waking up from hibernation, losing buttons off of coats, and being worried about looking funny in their swimsuits is quite entertaining, and the large print, easy vocabulary, and short sentences make it easy for young children to read on their own or follow along with their parent or an older sibling that's reading the book to them. The illustrations, mostly in greens, browns, and grays, take up most of the page and are done in a pen and watercolor style that many parents today might remember from their own childhoods, as the book received the Caldecott Honor Award in 1971. Recommended for grades K-2.
