More About This Book

Overview

From Caldecott Medalist Arnold Lobel (1933-1987) comes a brand-new collection of rhyming stories about frogs and toads. Discovered by his daughter, Adrianne Lobel, The Frogs and Toads All Sang has the same warmth, compassion, and humor that is found in his best-loved work. Brimming with sweet silliness, this new book reminds us why Arnold Lobel's characters continue to be so popular years after debut.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
This sweetly silly picture book is a treasure from the past. Caldecott Medalist Arnold Lobel died in 1987, but he left behind a manuscript of rollicking, rhyming stories about frogs and toads. Lobel's daughter Adrianne has lovingly edited this entertaining collection, presenting it as a uplifting posthumous gift from her beloved father.
Publishers Weekly

Originally created by the late Lobel as a handmade book for a fellow author, these poems and pencil sketches (skillfully given washes of color by his daughter, Adrianne) are the progenitors of Lobel's classic Frog and Toad series. But even kids who haven't spent much time with those amphibious friends will find plenty to enjoy. As befits something made for a friend, the drawings of genteelly domesticated amphibians large and small bring to mind the spontaneity, intimacy and exuberance of the sketchpad; even the very young should sense that Lobel was a man who was delighted to see his imagination take shape on paper. He versifies expertly and with gentleness: a green frog's virtuosity on the violin doesn't keep him from yearning, "And yet.../ I'd rather play/ The clarinet." Polliwogs, their bodies composed almost entirely of broad, mischievous grins, revel in a school where "all we do is wiggle./ We do not read.../ We do not write.../ We only squirm and giggle." A lovely addition to anyone's Lobel bookshelf. Ages 4-7. (June)

Children's Literature
The well-known stories about Frog and Toad originally came from tales told by the Caldecott Medalist author (1933-1987) to his daughter when she was a child. It is fitting, then, that many years later; his daughter has collected and colored these stores, which appeared in handmade books her father gave as gifts years ago. She is a set designer and has done a beautiful job of water coloring her father's line art. The book includes an introductory explanation and ten poems. Each poem is a little story, and most have a humorous twist at the end. "Miss Frog Went in the Kitchen" is about Miss Frog making a sugar bun while the hungry little frogs watch and wait until she is done: "But when the stuff was finished/And cooling on the shelf . . ./Miss Frog cried, ‘Go away, you fools!'/ and ate them all herself." In "Polliwog School," the polliwogs admit to going to class only to "squirm and giggle." The stories are quick reading and fun for kids. Reviewer: Carolyn Mott Ford
Children's Literature
Fans of Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad early-readers are in for an additional amphibian romp. This book began as the late Lobel's handmade gift in the 1960's for family and friends. Thanks to his artist daughter, Adrianne, who spearheaded the publishing process and colored the black-and-white pictures, these charming rhymes can now delight a much wider audience. Lobel's trademark whimsy leaps to the fore once again in poems about a dessert-eating toad and a fiddling frog who would "rather play the clarinet." And then there is the toad self conscious about his bumpy skin. He dons a coat and ceases to worry because his outside now is "soft and furry." These green and brown friends will hip-hop their way straight to a young readers' heart. Reviewer: Mary Quattlebaum
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2—Mischievous, warmhearted, silly, and touching, this short collection of stories in rhyme trips easily off the tongue in true Arnold Lobel style. In playful fashion, they feature Miss Frog baking pies and sugar buns, two lazy toads contemplating the night, a bright green frog playing the violin, a school for squirming polliwogs, and an adventurous jumper—often with a surprise-ending twist. A poem about a frog party, for example, concludes with: "They danced in the meadow/They danced in the street/They danced in the lemonade/Just to cool their feet." Adrianne Lobel, a set designer by profession, catches just the right mood in applying frothy, airy colors to her father's line art. A short introduction reveals how the collection came to be some 20 years after Lobel's death. This delectable combination of word and image is a treat not to be missed.—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA
