Synopsis Five short vignettes celebrate the wonderful friendship shared by a frog and a toad. In one story Frog attempts to awaken the hibernating Toad so that they can enjoy the spring together, and in another Toad insists on wearing a bathing suit when he goes swimming--even though he thinks it makes him look funny. Three-color drawings accompany the text of this easy reader book.
