You might know that one of Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad books won a Caldecott Honor for illustration. But did you know that a different one received the Newbery Honor for story?
We're excited to present our Frog and Toad Fan Film, performed by Isaac (14), Gracie (12), Lily (9), Elijah (7), and Evie (4)...

This is masterful, Aaron! We're going to show this as the very first video at the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival screening in New York this Sunday!
Oh, the talent, the voices, the thrills! What a great job your wookies did, Aaron! (Frog & Toad are favorites around here too)
I had to work very hard to refrain from bursting into applause at the end of that. Bravo!

Love it! So fun. Fantastic voices, great dramatic timing and loved the harmonica soundtrack too!
We started with Wind in the Willows and went on from there! My kids loved the Frog and Toad books! I loved the puppet show -- you have very talented children!
Oh my boys loved Frog and Toad! Great literature. I'm sorry they've outgrown them. though I tihnk they'd still listen if I were to pull one of them off the shelf if only for old times sake.
Love Frog and Toad! Y'all did good!
This has always been one of my kids favorite books!
I need to introduce it to my Grandlittles and see if they are as enchanted!
Thanks for a fun reminder of some good reads!
