A Year with Frog and Toad

Theatre for Young Audiences Series

book and lyrics by Willie Reale
music by Robert Reale
based on the books by Arnold Lobel

Oh, what fun!  Caldecott and Newbery award winner Arnold Lobel’s beguiling stories come to life onstage — complete with foot-tapping music. Frog, Toad and their friends plant a garden, fly kites, swim in the pond (but turn away because Toad looks funny in a bathing suit) and skip rope with a large and terrible frog. Or sometimes they just like to settle down in a warm house and sip a bowl of soup. This song-filled year in the life of two charming woodland characters was a Broadway hit that captivated children, adults — and critics (Variety declared it “delighted young eyes and minds”). 

Recommendation: Grades K-6.
