Book Reviews of Frog and Toad Together (I Can Read Book 2)
Book Review: A Joy to Listen & Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first book and tape for me and my five year old son. On a whim, I finally decided to get one from the library this past weekend. I vaguely remembered reading Frog & Toad as a child, but couldn't remember any of the specific stories.
We are having SO much fun listening to these stories! The stories are so delightful, and my son is really enjoying it too. I think we were both pleasantly surprised to hear it and to experience listening to an audiotape for a change instead of our usual "mommy read a book" routine. Of course, the occasional music (which is oh so perfect in how it depicts what's going on in the story....particularly for moments depicting light moments, and also those depicting danger) and the author's tone of the voice are what add to already great adventures in the book.
The first day we listened to it, we had so much fun that we played it about 3 more times in a row. My son asks for us to listen/read the story every night.
I agree with one other reviewer who said the author's narration (voice, tone, etc) is perfect for the story.
My son loves all the stories, although for The Dream story, he looks a little perplexed, so I told him it's a story about a dream and most dreams don't make sense.
In "A List", he loves the part where Toad says "Blah". And he also loves when earlier in that story, you can hear the sound of a door opening as Toad leaves his house on his way to see Frog. My son just turns to me and grins from ear to ear.
For the "Cookies" story, he loves to hear the crunch of the cookie as Toad take that first bite at his own house before he goes to Frog's. He also enjoys hearing Toad tell Frog all the different ways that they can get into the box.
His very favorite line in the book though is in "Dragons and Giants", when the snake comes out the cave and says, "Hello Lunch". We both crack up over time....and sometimes rewind it a few times :-)
Like all the other reviewers mentioned, this is definitely a wonderful book about friendship. It was also interesting to read many reviewers note how there are so many real-life learning examples in it for adults. So true.
Of all the books we've read, this is by far the one that has engaged my son the most, which is saying a lot since he has about 15 Thomas books and is usually preoccupied with those.
This is I definitely have to get the other books from the collection. Definitely a classic.
Happy reading everyone :-)
Summary of Frog and Toad Together (I Can Read Book 2)
Frog and Toad are always together. Here are five wonderful stories about flowers, cookies, bravery, dreams, and, most of all, friendship.
"You know, Toad," said Frog with his mouth full, "I think we should stop eating. We will soon be sick." "You are right," said Toad. "Let us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop." Many "last cookies" later, Frog and Toad come up with an ingenious solution to their uncontrolled cookie consumption.
This pair of amphibian pals likes to do everything together, from list making to flower growing to dragon vanquishing. And when Toad bakes cookies one day, the two try to develop willpower together. The Frog and Toad series, including Frog and Toad Are Friends, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad, is perfect for new readers. Simple text and charming, frog-hued pictures combined with sensitive, funny, original stories show children what real friendship is all about. This Newbery Honor Book perpetuates and confirms Frog and Toad's status as children's classics. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
