Classic
Bought it for my grown granddaughter this Christmas. I read it to her when she was little and then she read it to me. After she opened it, and no one was looking, she hugged it to her chest. Best memories ever!!!!

Quality Reading
Great series for preschool and kindergarten age! We used these as quality read aloud but would make a good early reader too!

Who doesn't love Frog and Toad?
I won't review the stories in this book, because anyone who loves Frog and Toad will know that these stories are written in the same dry, witty, and classic style of the Frog and Toad series. They were a favourite of mine as a child, and they're a favourite of my child now. If you're not familiar with this series, invest in it! Easy enough for an early reader to read, but funny enough to entertain adults.The book itself is nice and robust. Really sturdy binding, cover, and pages. Nice, large print and simple font for new readers, and the same illustrations we knew and loved as kids ourselves.Your kids will love this series, and you'll laugh too.

The older I get, the more I love these stories
The older I get, the more I love these stories and telling them to kids. They reveal so much about human nature and friendship and are quite humorous in a slow paced, comforting way.

Kindle edition.
Arnold Lobel was such a wonderful writer, I'm not quite sure what to say about this book or how to say it. For now I'll leave that to the other 5-star reviews. I'm just here to tell you the Kindle edition needs some work.The problem is this isn't really an ebook but a set of scans - single images, two pages at a time, so that you can't even read them in portrait mode. Perhaps the newer Fire models can accommodate this somehow, but on both my Paperwhite and my son's 7" Fire, as well as the Kindle desktop application, each two-page scan is forced into a single landscape display. I don't exaggerate when I say these are nothing but images of the pages. There seems to be no interaction available with the text, and zooming in on the illustrations isn't possible. Even basic pinch zooming in on the entire page isn't permitted.I don't approve of giving good books poor ratings because of publisher laziness. If I did, this one would get 2 or 3 stars. The colors are a little more vibrant than in the newer print editions, and for what it's worth the scans are clear. The table of contents does work, but not from the Go To menu, only on the actual Table of Contents page.If you already own these books in print and you have a big Kindle or REALLY good eyesight, go for it. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and buy the physical books. Lobel's work is essential for both children and adults, stunningly wise at times and always beautiful. The Frog and Toad stories are among his best, and these ones are particularly good.

Not as good as Owl At Home, but enjoyable just the same
I love Lobel's works. They are a lot of fun to read and my daughter really enjoys the characters. We are big fans of both Frog and Toad as well as Owl At Home. Frog and Toad Together is a nice collection (our faves are "A List" and "The Garden"). I downloaded it on Kindle and it was slightly awkward as it presents it only horizontally, with the facing pages as a single unit, but that doesn't detract from the stories. Highly recommended.

Great Friends
As A teacher, I have read these books to kids for years and lately I shared them with an adult friend in her 60's and she too loved the characters so much she knit me Frog and Toad. There is a lesson in each of these short chapters and is a wonderful beginning chapter book for 6/7 year olds.

Adoramos
Meu filho de 4-5 anos adorou. Histórias cativantes, elaboradas sem serem complicadas, mas ao mesmo tempo que trazem mensagens interessantes para crianças que ainda estão aprendendo a se controlar, sobre amizade, etc.

Frog and Toad-best friends
Frog and Toad are a classic, I remember reading to my children so I thought I would try these stories on my 4 year old grandson. I wondered how these stories would compare to the books and cbeebies videos he likes. Like most children his age, he is bombarded with bright colourful, action packed stories. I thought they might seem old fashioned to him. But hurray, he got it. I think they are timeless because they are about best friends.
