A Year with Frog and Toad

On December 9 we went to see "A Year with Frog and Toad" at the Midland Center for the Arts. From a newspaper article by James Eikrem:

Peanut Gallery in association with Theatre Guild opened Friday with a well-produced rendition of "A Year With Frog and Toad," a Tony Award nominated musical based on Arnold Lobel's Caldecott Award winning books for children.

The first in Lobel's series of books appeared in 1970 with "Frog and Toad are Friends." These simple "I Can Read Books" were immediately acclaimed for their humor, quirky characters, and depiction of a loving friendship between Toad, a silly fussbudget, and Frog, who is down to earth and eternally patient.

As a musical comedy, these short sentences and chapters are brought to tuneful life as we follow Frog and Toad through a year full of simple adventures.
