Color by Adrianne Lobel. Upon his death in 1987, the creator of the beloved Frog and Toad early-reader series left behind several handmade books, which are collected here. The clever, pithy, storylike rhymes, which represent the first time that Lobel "wrote about frogs and toads," feature art (hand-colored by Lobel's daughter) that's more sketchlike than what his fans are used to, but no less charming.
