Frog and Toad All Year is an American picture book written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel, published by Harper & Row in 1976.
The two friends, Frog and Toad, are portrayed by the author with human-like personalities and amphibian appearance.
Toad finds himself in a sticky situation when he buys ice cream cones for himself and Frog, one hot Summer day.
[6] The book has been adapted as a musical, written by Willie and Robert Reale and entitled A Year with Frog and Toad, opened on Broadway, and was also performed by the Second Story Repertory,[7] by Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis, and by the Chicago Children's Theatre, among others.
[11] Kirkus Reviews wrote, "We miss some of the resonant psychological heft of this pair's previous experiences, but Frog and Toad can still transform the most ordinary seasonal activities into celebrations.
