Frog and Toad are Friends

Reminds me of the children's book with the frogs flying everywhere on a Tuesday.

I am a preschool teacher, so I joyfully get to read all of the Frog & Toad stories on the regular. I took a copy of Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury with me on a recent trip to Kathmandu and had a friend translate it into Nepali so I could share it with preschoolers there. I love Frog and Toad!

It might be The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester

>An amazing secret has tumbled off a freight train into Carter, Georgia, and Owen Jester is the only person who knows about it. If he can simply manage to evade his grandfather's snappish housekeeper, organize his two best friends, and keep his nosy neighbor, Viola, at bay, he just might be in for the summer of a lifetime. With her trademark wit and easy charm, Barbara O'Connor spins a fantastic fable of friends, enemies, and superbly slimy bullfrogs.

1. The Monster at the End of this Book is fun if the parents know how to read stories aloud. Emphasis, emotion, different voices, etc. It features Grover from the Sesame Street, but is great even if they don't watch Sesame Street. Grover spends the whole book trying to stop you, the reader, from reaching the monster at the end of the book.
   
   
2. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus is similar. The bus driver has to leave for a minute and asks for you to be sure the pigeon doesn't drive the bus. The pigeon then pleads with you on every page, giving reasons why he should drive the bus. The story works when you encourage the child to yell, "NO!" at the pigeon.
   
   
3. Too Many Frogs I enjoyed doing voices for, and knocking each time Froggie comes into Rabbit's house uninvited to have Rabbit read to him. You only need to do a crackly frog and exasperated rabbit voice.
   
   
4. The Book With No Pictures is great when the kid is a little older. The book trailer says it all.
   

The only books I have from my youth are The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Judge: an Untrue Tale. This reflects my mothers interest more than my own.

I fondly remember The King, the Mice, and the Cheese.

As a parent, I have to go with Goodnight Gorilla and Morris the Moose. Morris is a great one to do voices for, and very funny when your kid hits the right age. Too Many Frogs is also a great one if you enjoy doing voices.

Frog and Toad are some of my earliest book reading memories.

And this book, about a penguin who hates the cold?

I guess you're looking for some more contemporary stuff.

Check out the Game of Thrones books (A Song of Fire and Ice), very well written stuff.

Glen Cook writes amazing fiction, The Black Company series, The Dread Empire series, Garrett P.I. series, his one off's are pretty good too (Passage at Arms is amazing).

Neil Gaiman's novels: Stardust, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Good Omens. And more. Dude has created a very impressive body of award winning fiction.

Terry Pratchett (RIP): The Discworld series is fucking hilarious. Pick one up: Guards! Guards!, Moving Pictures, Going Postal, The Truth are good starters. There is an actual order to the series, but it's not important.

Is this it?

Brave and bright, bright and brave, Commander Toad flies the starship Star Warts on adventures throughout the galaxy...

Where the Sidewalk Ends was one of my favorite books as a kid. I wish I still had it, I've never been able to find it for my kids. My mom sold my copy on a yard sale once when I was a teenager because I'd apparently outgrown it :( It's on my kids' Book Wishes wishlist!

Some of my kids' favorites are Frog and Toad, Clifford the Big Red Dog and anything by Dr. Suess :)

David Weisner has some fantastic picture books.
Tuesday no words, wonderful pictures. Fun story.
June 29, 1999 is about a young girls science experiment and unexpected results due to alien mistakes. Story and pictures are both tons of fun.

Also Heinleins Have Spacesuit Will Travel has a great strong young girl as one of the main characters

I devoured the Magic Treehouse series when I was younger. I thought it was so great that they went to all these cool places (and they were very easy to read chapter books, so I flew through them!) :)

Edit: I ran a Reading Buddies program at the local library and a couple of our younger readers really liked them because the writing style is simple, but interesting. There are new words, but nothing terribly difficult and since the main characters are the same throughout, it's easy to follow :)


In terms of other books, I thought all of these were great:

1. Dr Seuss
   
2. Shel Silverstein
   
3. Alexander
   
4. Amelia Bedelia
   
5. Frog and Toad
   
6. Henry and Mudge
   
7. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
   
   Those were all pretty popular with my kids (and with me)! :)

Frog and Toad are Friends: Arnold Lobel: 8601419721528: Amazon ...

The book about the list-making frog is probably Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel, part of his Frog and Toad series. (It's the first story in the book, called "A List" - and it is actually Toad who makes the list.)

I remember really liking frog and toad, but have no idea what it is about now.

My son was obsessed with Little Green Frog Chunky Lift-a-Flap Board Book around that age. At 2.5 he still likes Where's Spot.

It's Commander Toad!

Oops, meant to reply.

It's one of the Frog and Toad books. Possibly this one.

Turtle Spring by Deborah Tunney-Zagwyn. A beautifully illustrated and charming story about a girl coming to terms with her baby brother over a long winter.

Tuesday an almost wordless book about flying frogs. It's brilliant. If you get it never loan it to anyone. Grrr.

Grandma and the Pirates by Phoebe Gilman. This is my favourite of hers, though all her stuff is great. I don't know if she's as well known outside of Canada, she's a classic here. I also recommend her re-telling of a traditional Jewish children's tale; Something From Nothing which is brilliant for the dual-illustrations of a human family, and the mice who live under the floorboards - the kind of detail that always seemed magical when I was a child.

Toad?

Why?

Tuesday?

she should have read the (what?) 12 pages before class, seen this, and read a different book. I would suggest Jog Frog Jog
