About the Book

Once upon a time there were two good friends, a frog and a toad…

Each time Toad saw how messy his home was he said,
“I will do it tomorrow. Today I will take life easy.”
What happened when tomorrow arrived?

The much-loved Frog and Toad stories were written and illustrated Arnold Lobel and have been loved by generations.

Children can recap the story on pages 14–15 by exploring the difference between tidying the house ‘tomorrow’ and doing it ‘today’, providing lots of speaking and listening opportunities.

Green/Band 5 books offer early readers patterned language and varied characters.

Ideas for Reading provide practical support and stimulating activities.
