Generations of readers have fallen in love with Frog and with Toad, and many have taken to honoring them creatively. These childhood stories are gentle reads, packed with everyday, simply adventures made grand because of the characters. Kindness, generosity, and loyalty outweigh the differences in how Frog and Toad approach other aspects of their life, and creator Lobel claimed both characters were parts of himself. Or are they? As the series progresses, these two seemingly opposite characters end up to have far more in common with one another than they don’t. Earlier this year, Apple TV+announced they were developing the books as an animated series, and fans of the series should be excited to learn that the project has the approval of the Lobel family - among the executive producers are Adrianne Lobel and Adam Lobel, daughter and son of Frog and Toad creator Arnold Lobel.įrog and Toad are as opposite as can be. Many love this story of friendship, and many others have reclaimed this as a queer classic, noting that Frog and Toad’s subtext is far more romantic than platonic.
