Plumfield and Paideia

Frog and Toad Are Friends
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
Such a simple, lovely friendship is celebrated. It is no wonder that so many people today have such a fondness for these two friends. Lovely characters in a lovely setting with great respect for young readers are shown. May Frog and Toad never go out of style on the early readers shelves in libraries everywhere.
