Frog and Toad Together: A Story About Friendship and Facing Fears Together (I Can Read Level 2)

Lovely book in the series. Great for reading to children. Will continue to purchase more in this series.

As a homeschool mom and former Elementary teacher; I love this series of books for reluctant readers. My daughter is a beautiful reader but needed a boost in confidence to get started reading chapter books. These are great for that. We have read every one and now she has the confidence to read everything. She jumped from a level one reader to reading on a 4th grade level in just a few months.

I bought Arnold Lobel's books in hardcover when they first came out. Our children adored the stories and illustrations and they wanted us to read them every night at bedtime. By following along as we read Lobel's and other "I Can Read" books, our children learned to read before they entered school. The stories are definitely designed to facilitate reading skills but they are also engaging, with a focus on friendship, love and behaviour. I cannot recommend these charming books enough. Now for the negative comments: The Kindle versions are extremely disappointing; the font and illustrations are quite small. One can double tap and increase the font size a little bit, in small sections. This doesn't allow for reading to a child while smoothly running a finger under the words being read, as it would if all of the text on a page was enlarged at once. Running a finger under the text is a significant step in teaching a child to read while using "I Can Read" books, so this particular "double tap" method defeats that purpose. In addition, the illustrations don't seem as vibrant as in the hardcover books and they can't be enlarged. The publisher did a real disservice to both the author and the readers by the poor job they did in transferring the books into digital format. Even with my dislike for the way in which the publisher digitalized this book, it is still a very worthwhile purchase. It's message is timeless and the stories and illustrations are sure to appeal to both it's target audience and to the adults reading it to them.

These books are fantastic! Very easy to read, simple and cute stories. Lessons to be learned and keeps the kids interested. Pictures are great too!

Today I heard this book mentioned in a movie and I remembered how much I loved Frog and Toad when I was young. Once I learned to read, I read everything I could lay eyes on - including cereal boxes - and I've read more books than I could possibly count but Frog and Toad was one of the 2 books I never forgot (the other was Ferdinand the Bull.) Remembering how much I loved them, I looked for Frog and Toad and found them on Kindle; I've never been so delighted to get a book instantly. Immediately, I read it through, once, twice, three times, smiling all the while, memories of enjoying the stories in the past mixing with the joy of reading them again right now. I could say that I bought this book to share with my future grandchildren, or for their moral message, or as a keepsake from my childhood. But the truth is that the stories of Frog and Toad are just as sweet and fun to me now as they were 40 years ago. Don't ask which of these 5 stories is my favorite because truly they all are. And as always, I can't just read one story and put the book down. I have to read them all. To put it simply, Frog and Toad Together makes me happy. And I imagine that 40 years from now, it still will.

Very nice stories for younger and older kids, encourages conversation and easy comprehension

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.

I bought this and another one for my daughter & she love these books! The stories are any for her to read as a new reader & she loves the beautiful pictures.
