Since their first appearance over a hundred years ago in 1908, they've become emblematic archetypes of eccentricity, folly, and friendship.

"Frog's and Toad's big thoughts and words of wisdom have resonated with readers for decades. Pairing timeless quotes with the classic illustrations from the original stories, this is a little book to treasure."--Jacket.
