Collect The Frogs And Toads All Sang Fabricated By Arnold Lobel Distributed As Volume

I'm not a fan of works published posthumously, It seems to me that if the author wanted it published, he would have done so, . . otherwise it can assumed that it just wasn't 'ready' or 'fit' for publication, However, this is a discovery by a daughter of the author, and the verses are successful charming, silly, etc, as others say, and so I'm accepting it,

The only thing you need to know, besides the fact that I recommend it, is that has not as tight a controlled vocabulary as a Leveled Reader, and is therefore better read by a family or slightly older child.
This group of poems written by Arnold Lobel and illustrated partially by his daughter Adrienne is absolutely delightful, Frankly, I have never been a huge fan of Lobel's Frog and Toad series I acknowledge its importance to children's literature, but never really enjoyed the books, but these frogs and toads are just wonderful.
Each poem is funny and clever, and the rhymes don't feel forced at all, The accompanying illustrations echo the fun of the poems, The illustrations are sketches by Lobel himself that his daughter has carefully and beautifully colored,

These poems were found after Lobel's death he had given them to a friend as a present, Whoever decided to publish them made a wonderful choice, This is a beautiful book that will delight children of all ages, It is a cute little children's book in and of itself with a very nice rhyming scheme, but to put it in and classify it as one of the "Frog and Toad" book series seems wrong and even disingenuous.
This delightful collection of short, humorous poems written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel, and published posthumously, was lovingly painted by his daughter Adrienne.
This collection is significant as it was the first time that Lobel had ever chosen frogs and toads as a subject, Lobels simple, pencil sketches are exuberant, lively and fun, and daughter Adrianne has chosen to closely mimic his style in her choice of watercolors for the illustrationsher decision to “paint wet” and to follow her fathers advice “Dont be afraid to color outside of the lines!” combine to give Lobels original sketches a soft glow in their finished form.
This feels like an incredibly happy book, as all of the frogs and toads are smiling and dancing against the white backgrounds on each page.
Their gentle smiles, big friendly eyes, and contented expressions are lovely, and the poems are funny, clever, and short with the perfect amount of sillinessborderingontheabsurd that is sure to delight preschoolers and their families.
This book would also be an appropriate choice for beginning readers as the poems are short, there is, of course, plenty of rhyming, and word choice and phrasing are simple.
Also, book design, use of space and format are very straightforward, There is an illustration on one page, and the corresponding poem follows on the facing page, so there would be little of the confusion that can sometimes happen when a young reader attempts to navigate the text of poems that are interspersed within and around an illustration.
When sharing this book I might bring out my longlegged frog puppet and have him help me share the poetry, I would certainly have the children listen for those great rhyming words, and I would play with vocal inflection and tone to bring out the humor in the poems.
I might follow this story with the flannel version of “Five Green and Speckled Frogs, ” For a fun extension activity, we could have our own “frog party”

like the one described in the first poem of the collection.
I would provide dress up materials for imaginative play, or we might pretend to be frogs and have a hopping contest, A collection of early poems and illustrations that Arnold Lobel drew for family and friends before he became famous for his Frog and Toad series.
