Book Description:

Frog and Toad enjoy spending their days together. They fly kites, celebrate Toad’s birthday, and share the shivers when Frog tells a scary story. Most of all, they have fun together—every day of the year.

Days with Frog and Toad is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Review:

I love Frog and Toad. I love that somehow my early readers get into the stories and will read a lot more words in a Frog and Toad story than in a more modern early-reader. They are silly, funny, and there is always a heart-wrenching part, which gets resolved happily. A great book for kids learning to read.

A reflective review of Theo of Golden by Allen Levi—a slow, beautiful novel about generosity, listening, human connection, and quiet acts of kindness.
