Frog and Toad Together: A Newbery Honor Award Winner From the Classic Animal Friendship and Adventure Series, Great for Growing Reading Skills and ... for Kids [ages 4-8] (I Can Read Level 2)

CLASSIC BOOK, I still have my childhood copy. Just got a copy for grands. Can't wait to share over video calls.

I bought this and another one for my daughter & she love these books! The stories are any for her to read as a new reader & she loves the beautiful pictures.

These books are fantastic! Very easy to read, simple and cute stories. Lessons to be learned and keeps the kids interested. Pictures are great too!

These books are timeless and classics. Most of the recent books like this are not nearly as fun to read. My son enjoys reading these as much as I do.

Arnold Lobel was such a wonderful writer, I'm not quite sure what to say about this book or how to say it. For now I'll leave that to the other 5-star reviews. I'm just here to tell you the Kindle edition needs some work.The problem is this isn't really an ebook but a set of scans - single images, two pages at a time, so that you can't even read them in portrait mode. Perhaps the newer Fire models can accommodate this somehow, but on both my Paperwhite and my son's 7" Fire, as well as the Kindle desktop application, each two-page scan is forced into a single landscape display. I don't exaggerate when I say these are nothing but images of the pages. There seems to be no interaction available with the text, and zooming in on the illustrations isn't possible. Even basic pinch zooming in on the entire page isn't permitted.I don't approve of giving good books poor ratings because of publisher laziness. If I did, this one would get 2 or 3 stars. The colors are a little more vibrant than in the newer print editions, and for what it's worth the scans are clear. The table of contents does work, but not from the Go To menu, only on the actual Table of Contents page.If you already own these books in print and you have a big Kindle or REALLY good eyesight, go for it. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and buy the physical books. Lobel's work is essential for both children and adults, stunningly wise at times and always beautiful. The Frog and Toad stories are among his best, and these ones are particularly good.

Always love Frog & Toad stories!

I bought Arnold Lobel's books in hardcover when they first came out. Our children adored the stories and illustrations and they wanted us to read them every night at bedtime. By following along as we read Lobel's and other "I Can Read" books, our children learned to read before they entered school. The stories are definitely designed to facilitate reading skills but they are also engaging, with a focus on friendship, love and behaviour. I cannot recommend these charming books enough.Now for the negative comments: The Kindle versions are extremely disappointing; the font and illustrations are quite small. One can double tap and increase the font size a little bit, in small sections. This doesn't allow for reading to a child while smoothly running a finger under the words being read, as it would if all of the text on a page was enlarged at once. Running a finger under the text is a significant step in teaching a child to read while using "I Can Read" books, so this particular "double tap" method defeats that purpose.In addition, the illustrations don't seem as vibrant as in the hardcover books and they can't be enlarged. The publisher did a real disservice to both the author and the readers by the poor job they did in transferring the books into digital format.Even with my dislike for the way in which the publisher digitalized this book, it is still a very worthwhile purchase. It's message is timeless and the stories and illustrations are sure to appeal to both it's target audience and to the adults reading it to them.

I love Lobel's works. They are a lot of fun to read and my daughter really enjoys the characters. We are big fans of both Frog and Toad as well as Owl At Home. Frog and Toad Together is a nice collection (our faves are "A List" and "The Garden"). I downloaded it on Kindle and it was slightly awkward as it presents it only horizontally, with the facing pages as a single unit, but that doesn't detract from the stories. Highly recommended.
