Publisher's Summary:  "Frog and Toad enjoy spending their days together. They fly kites, celebrate Toad's birthday, and share the shivers when Frog tells a scary story. Most of all, they have fun together—every day of the year."

Acquired:  Purchased a new copy from a homeschool retailer quite some time ago.

Reason for Reading:  Next in the series.  Ds read aloud as his reader.

I can't say much more than I have already said with the previous three books in this series.  This was the last one published but it does not matter which order you read them in.  Once again Lobel proves that the perfect children's book transcends all ages.  Ds and I had a great laugh at the antics of Frog and Toad.  They are just plain silly and yet they ring true with our everyday life.  Frog and Toad each has their own distinct personalities and together they compliment each other.  My favourite story from this book is "Tomorrow" in which Toad, lazing in bed, as always, puts off every single chore until tomorrow and then he starts to worry about what a hectic day he is going to have tomorrow so he gets up and does each chore now so he won't have to do it tomorrow.  The he goes back to bed with a clear mind and no worries!
