Though the Frog and Toad books were written for children in the 1970s, they’ve stood the test of time-two best buddies who have become a friendly nugget of nostalgia for multiple generations. The series features art that feels drawn straight out from the hand of late writer and illustrator Arnold Lobel, with stories from all four Frog and Toad books: Frog and Toad Are Friends, Frog and Toad Together, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days With Frog and Toad. We can’t all shrink down to the size of the tiny amphibians-but we can now live vicariously through the beloved characters, thanks to a new kids show heading to Apple TV+ on April 28. What if life’s biggest issues were lacking the willpower to stop eating cookies, goofy bathing suits, and deciding on a flavor of ice cream? Life might be a little easier if we could all pack up our things and move into the world of Frog and Toad.

Only sometimes do Bowman and Wonder Book President Chuck Roberts know the real identity of the person whose home or project they’ve outfitted: “When we work with certain designers, I pretty much already know it’s going to be either an A-list movie or an A-list client. The books would then be “staged,” or arranged with the same care a florist might extend to a bouquet of flowers, on a library cart double-checked by a second staffer and then shipped off to the residence or commercial space where they would eventually be shelved and displayed (or shelved and taken down to read). If an order were to come in for, say, 12 feet of books about politics, specifically with a progressive or liberal tilt-as one did in August-Wonder Book’s manager, Jessica Bowman, would simply send one of her more politics-savvy staffers to the enormous box labeled “Politically Incorrect” (the name of Books by the Foot’s politics package) to select about 120 books by authors like Hillary Clinton, Bill Maher, Al Franken and Bob Woodward.

Maxwell's new readers could scarcely know that he had been rehearsing elements of the same painful story since 1937, when he brought out his second novel, "They Came Like Swallows." Introducing his collected stories, "All the Days and Nights," in 1994, Maxwell recalled boarding a freighter for Martinique back in 1933, searching for new experiences to write about: "I had no idea that three-quarters of the material I would need for the rest of my writing life was already at my disposal.

Initially we all thought it strange that a book by someone as well-known as Julie Andrews wasn’t more easily located. My cousin Theresa wanted a copy, so he decided to get one for each of us, but he could not find the book anywhere. It took a long while for Grandpop to find it. My grandfather bought it for me in 1974, and reading it, at age 13, was one of the finest highlights of my whole year.
