BR 1-01: Frog and Toad All Year


Today, I read "Frog and Toad All Year". This book is for children, so this is easy to read but this is good for review, I think.

There are two main characters in this book. They are Frog and Toad. As you can guess from the name, they are frog. They are always with each other like brother, but they don't live together. This book is written about their life in 4 seasons with 5 stories.

One hot summer day, they sat by a pond. And Frog wanted to eat some sweet and cold ice cream. Toad went to a store, and he bought two big ice-cream cones. Frog likes chocolate best, and so does he. When Toad was walking along the path, a large, soft drop of chocolate ice cream slipped down his arm. The ice cream is melting in the sun. Toad walked faster, he had to hurry back to Frog. However, more and more of ice cream was melting. It dripped down on his jacket, it splattered on his pants and his feet. He can't see anything because of the melted ice cream, so he cannot see the path.

Frog still sat by the pond and was waiting for Toad. Then a mouse ran by him, and the mouse told Frog that I just saw something awful, it was big brown. Then a squirrel told Frog that something covered with sticks and leaves is moving this way. And then, a rabbit told Ftog that here comes a thing with horns. Frog couldn't guess what is that. Frog hid behind a rock, and he saw the thing coming. It was the thing what they said to Frog. Frog realized it is Toad. Toad fell into the pond, and he sank to the bottom, and came up again. He washed away all of their ice cream.

Frog knows what they can do. They ran back to the store quickly. And then, they sat in the shade of a tree and ate their chocolate ice-cream cones together.
As I said above, this is easy to read but is really good to read. I have to take care of my friends like them. I don't have to be like them, but I should do that as they do.
