Once upon a time there were two good friends, a frog and a toad...

Frog and Toad went out to fly a kite, but getting it to fly was harder than they thought!

The much-loved Frog and Toad stories were written and illustrated Arnold Lobel and have been loved by generations.

Children can recap the story on pages 14-15 by exploring each attempt the characters made at getting the kite to fly, providing lots of speaking and listening opportunities.
