ふたりはともだち　Frog and Toad Are Friends (英語・日本語CD付き)

Frog and Toad feel like characters that could live forever in children's imaginations. I'm curious whether Lobel drew from personal experiences or popular stories when shaping them.

The gentle humor and gentle lessons feel so accessible, but I also wondered if there's a deeper message about friendship woven into the stories that I might have missed.

The artwork is so expressive and charming—did Lobel work on the illustrations himself, or was it a collaboration? It really adds to the whimsical tone.
