The Frogs and Toads All Sang audiobook

I’m not a fan of most rhyming books, but this was so fun.

I love that this turned into a father-daughter project, recorded for all time.

Should be required read aloud book. Does such a thing exist?

Read aloud for homeschool! Adorable children's poetry that my boys loved, my oldest even turned a few into a rap- ha ha!

these 32 pages of frog poems are better than anything Paulo Coelho has ever written.

Very cute little rhymes that gave Nicholas and I a giggle.

Great introduction to poetry and song for toddlers!

A beautiful "lost" book and tribute to a beloved author of children's books.

Our family is familiar with the early-reader format of Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad stories, which we love. So this collection of rhymes caught my eye during our most recent library visit.The little poems contained in this book are simply charming. They're clever. Funny. Sweet. They are everything you'd expect from Arnold Lobel. C would pause to think after each one, then laugh and laugh once she "got" the humor.In the book's introduction, Adrianne Lobel says these poems are the "first time [Arnold Lobel] wrote about frogs and toads." They are a foretaste of the stories to come; you can feel the same light, friendly spirit found in the beginning readers. Adrianne added her own talents in watercolor to her father's line illustrations, resulting in a beautiful "new" Arnold Lobel book for little ones (and parents!) to enjoy."Bright Green Frog" is my personal favorite. I ended up sharing it with my clarinet-playing colleagues!

This is a short collection of poems about frogs and toads written by the late Arnold Lobel, the author of the beloved Frog and Toad stories. The poems were discovered by his daughter, who is the illustrator of this collection. I read three of the poems--"The Frogs and Toads All Sang," "Made for Toads," and "A Toad Was Feeling..."--for a toad- and frog-themed story time program at the Great Valley Museum of Natural History at Modesto Junior College. The poems are short, sweet, and silly. I also really liked the pictures. Having both frogs and toads featured also helped me to reinforce the differences between frogs and toads that they had learned from my reading of Tale of a Tadpole by Barbara Ann Porte. I will definitely be using this for a story time program at the library.

This is a song/poetry book about the different activities that frog and toads do. I chose it for it's song and poetry value which is what I would use it in class for. This book could be used all the way up to 3rd graders. I would do some music and movement activities with my classroom. for instance, as each song has a theme I could create a corresponding movement or dance to go with the song.

My five-year-old son picked this book out of the library this week. And I am so glad that he did. These poems have all the wit and humor of the Frog and Toad stories, but with a heaping dose of charm. The illustrations, which are softer (and less 1970s) that those of the Frog and Toad, should prove to be timeless. Adding this book to my list of books that I need to buy.
