A hilarious, light-hearted fable about seeing past our differences.
Frog is a frog. And Toad is a toad. They are totally different from each other. So when a fly mistakes Frog and Toad for two FROGS, it's not long before things get a bit fruity... Luckily, a too-close call with a snappy alligator makes Frog and Toad join forces to see that they're not THAT different after all... At heart, a laugh-out-loud journey about togetherness, putting differences aside and realizing that friends don't need to be just like you, but they come in all shapes and sizes!

We thought this was a fun and entertaining book. We liked leaning more about frogs and toads as we read.
The book has a hilarious ending, which both my boys loved!

This is a great book! The children I read it to loved it, it's a great book to use silly voices with too. They found the story really funny and loved trying to guess what was going to happen next.
The illustrations are great too, we spent a long time picking out different frogs and toads from the pictures and talking about animals that look similar but are called different things.

My daughter (4) loved reading and learning about the differences and similarities of frogs and toads. The use of language was very funny. It was thoroughly enjoyed cover to cover. -- Parent * Toppsta *
