Frog and Toad fly a kite that refuses to fly. They mark a birthday. They frighten themselves silly over a story Frog tells and then agree, firmly, that neither of them was scared. Arnold Lobel wrote these in a voice so plain and so funny that adults keep rereading them long after the child has moved on.

As an I Can Read Level 2 it is pitched at readers who are getting confident but still want somebody sitting nearby: longer sentences, real story shape and language play, across sixty four pages split into short chapters a child can finish in one go.

These are the books that turn a reluctant reader into a reader, and at this price they are the easiest yes in the shop.
