Review: My sons just love this book. It is one that they keep coming back to and at a guess I would say the best age range to hold interest would be from about 2-7. We particularly like the story called Ice Cream where Toad goes to buy himself and Frog cones and comes back resembling a monster as it melted all over him! The pictures and text are simple but delightful. Quote: 'One hot summer day Frog and Toad sat by the pond.' The short stories always have good, funny, outcomes and inspire further questioning and conversation. There is an innocence and kindness in these stories that is displayed perfectly on a level that children will be able to understand and relate to. There are also quite a few marked differences in the personalities of Frog and Toad and yet they always stick together and remain firmest of friends, despite disagreeing at times. I just love the way that Lobel writes. Great for the children and the parent, as I really enjoy reading these to the children too, they're not the kind of dull 'ultra modern' stories where repetition sends you bonkers as the storyline is so lacking! They are also meant to be reading level 2 books (American) so will be useful later on for my children to read themselves, but as story books go, they certainly do the job well. I am definitely thinking of buying these books (we have the others in the Frog& Toad series) for my boy's friends. Not so well known in my library or in bookshops, but I am so glad I came across them. If you have a toddler or primary school aged child, and are looking for some first decent story books, he or she will not be disappointed. Five short but pleasant stories make up one book. A bargain price too.

Review: The books themselves are wonderful but on kindle app for iPad the illustration size is fixed, with no way to enlarge, they take up a small portion of the page (slightly bigger in portrait mode) It is ridiculous and frustrating to have a beautiful picture book that looks worse on the screen due to an inability to enlarge the illustrations. I have found the same issue with mr men books.
