FROG AND TOAD ARE FRIENDS (50TH ANNIV) (HB)

First published in 1970, Frog and Toad Are Friends was the first of the four beloved Frog and Toad books. This special 50th anniversary commemorative edition contains all of the original stories—from the story about going swimming, to finding lost buttons! It also includes seven pages of rarely seen bonus material, including archival photographs, sketches, pages from the original book dummy, the manuscript of the first story “Spring”, plus a biography of Arnold Lobel and how he was inspired to write the Frog and Toad stories. With matte paper, remastered artwork, and a green ribbon book marker, it makes a lovely gift for collectors, fans of children's literature, and anyone and everyone who loves Frog and Toad!
