This lovely volume also includes seven pages of rarely seen bonus material, including archival photographs, sketches, pages from the original book dummy, the manuscript of the first story, “Spring” (written in Arnold Lobel’s cursive on lined notebook paper!), plus a biography of Arnold Lobel and how he was inspired to write the Frog and Toad stories. The series has also been adapted into a Broadway musical and an Emmy-nominated animated series on Apple TV+.
