Days with Frog and Toad (An I Can Read Book)

Summary:
Two best friends named Frog and Toad have adventures together and do what other best friends do. The great drawings add to the delight of the simple text and ease at which early readers will learn these books.

All of the Frog and Toad books are just wonderful (not just this one). They are simple books, in chapter form, that young readers love. Not just the content (excitement at getting mail, playing with friends, fishing, etc) but young readers love when they get to read a "chapter book". These are set

Days With Frog and Toad is an I can read chapter book about the lives of Frog and Toad. Frog and Toad are friends who work through issues like procrastination, flying a kite, and being alone. When Frog left a note that he wanted to be alone, Toad thought that meant he was sad and didn’t want to

I love Frog and Toad. They are friends you want to be friends with.

We could do a lesson on following directions and make our own kites and try to fly them.

Frog and Toad learn about friendship in short chapters. People can be different and still be friends and they can do lots of things and be caring to one another and help each other through the rough spots.

Another installment of Frog and Toad with all the great illustrations. This particular book is good for kids who are working on difficult tasks or need encouragement to persevere. And, as always, it is a wonderful meditation on friendship.

This book is a good example of Fantasy because the main characters are a frog and a toad who talk and act like humans.
The theme of this book is friendship. It is a good theme, because it is underlying and not overly obvious, but it is something the reader can relate to and learn from.
Age: Primary

This was my all-time favorite chapter book as a kid. Frog and Toad are two friends that every child should read about.

This is a book of 5 short stories. Each simple story contains guided vocabulary. The stories are short and humorous. Each story models the structure of story writing with a beginning, middle and end, and each has a problem and solution. Children like the characters. Their friendship and the antics

Summary: This story is a chapter book in which we get four mini-stories of two best friends who work together to get accomplish their goals. In the first story, we learn how to work hard so that we do not have to hold things off until the last minute. It was a story showing how procrastination can

be avoided. The second story was about believing in the things we do in order to accomplish them. If we just believe hard enough, it will happen. The third story was a ghost story in which we never learn whether it was true or false. The fourth story was a loving tale of how we can be alone and enjoy the quietness of the day without being sad. It really shows how important alone time is and how good it is. this really is great critical literacy because the themes throughout teach such strong messages of hard work, belief, mystery and the importance of knowing one's self.

Genre: This is a good example of fantasy because it shows two frogs living like humans, talking like humans, and having humanistic qualities that could not exist in real life.

Characterization: I believe Toad is an interesting character. Throughout the series of stories, we see him growing in his belief in himself and his friend. he learns vital life lessons and comes out on top. He is a round character, yet in a way i see him as a secondary character in manner and thought to Frog due to the fact that Frog is always one step ahead and is the one teaching the lessons. He is one of the main character/protagonists.

Critiques:
Genre: This is a great example of fantasy because the author invites the readers into the world of Frog and Toad and she makes it incredibly believable. Also, Frog and Toad are very human-like in each of the stories, it is easy to forget that they are not human. The lessons learned from the stories are definitely ones that can be played out in real life, but she conveys the messages in a very fun way.
Characterization: Frog is a round character. In each of these short stories his character is more developed and we learn more about his personality. Each story is different enough that we are able to see a different side of his personality that we may not have been able to see with a different plot line. I like the way that the author develops this character because we are able to learn a lot about him and how he might act in many different situations.

This book talks about the friendship between frog and toad. This is a series but in this book we follow them while they fly kites, and celebrate toads birthday. A great book to use with emergent readers, talks a lot about friendships and what two great buds can do together.

Frog and Toad books were some of my favorites growing up. This book is great for young readers because of the simplicity of it.

Arnold Lobel's fourth and final collection of stories devoted to the doings of that amphibian pair, Frog and Toad - previous titles include: Frog and Toad Are Friends, Frog and Toad Together, and Frog and Toad All Year - this charming beginning reader was, together with its companions, one of my

absolute favorites as a young girl. Like the other collections, Days With Frog and Toad contains five brief stories, each of which highlights the very different characters of the two friends, and how those differences play out in their relationship with one another.

In Tomorrow, we see an indolent Toad spurred to action in his cleaning, not by Frog's observations of his house, but by a desire to make the following day a work-free experience. Frog convinces Toad to keep trying, in The Kite, despite the ridicule of some local robins, who have him convinced that their effort to fly a kite is doomed to failure. Shivers depicts the delights of a well-told ghost story (concerning the Old Dark Frog), when shared around a cozy fire, while The Hat sees Frog resorting to another of his stratagems (see Spring, in Frog and Toad Are Friends, for another example of this), when his gift to Toad isn't quite the thing. Finally, companionship and solitude are explored in Alone, when Frog goes off to meditate, and a worried Toad follows after him.

Delightfully humorous - in a subtle, rather than a slapstick style - with moments both poignant and entertaining, these tales can be read again and again with pleasure - something that is not entirely accidental, I imagine, given their status as "beginning readers." The artwork is appealing, in both its simplicity and expressiveness - I particular like the final scene, in this final Frog and Toad book, in which the two friends sit quietly together on a rock, staring out across the river - and greatly adds to the charm of the text. All in all: a real winner!
