Frog ran up the path to Toad's house.
Acquired: Purchased a new copy from a homeschool retailer.
Reason for Reading: Son read aloud to me as his reader.
The first book in the Frog and Toad series and a Caldecott honor winner this book introduces us to the now classic characters with the familiar format of five short stories of their friendship. Of two different natures, they bring out the best in each other and enjoy life and nature to the fullest. The simple stories will delight young and old alike. My son, now on the old side for these books, but just at the perfect reading level for him, still enjoys the simple, honest humour found within the pages. He enjoyed this book and wants to read the last one we still have left in the series to read. A perennial favourite and a keeper for my shelves!
Sounds such a simple book for children to understand easily
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your son is still enjoying these books! The humor is just delightful, and it was one of those books I never minded reading over and over again to my kids.
ReplyDeleteBefore this time through I'd never read the Frog & Toad books, even tough I've always been a fan of Lobel's. One of the nice things about ds's Autism is his retention of childhood innocence/joy even as he physically matures. :-)
