We got the box set of the Frog and Toad books ("Frog and Toad are Friends" isn't pictured) ages ago when I first found out I was pregnant. It was an excuse to pick up one of my favourite set of books.
Some of the concepts in these books are just a bit beyond my daughter, but she likes the books anyway. The conflicts are silly, and are rarely between the two main characters. Even when they have an argument, it never affects their strong friendship. How could any child dislike these books; It's a whole series of stories about two characters who are animals and who love each other and do everything together.
The text is big and the wording is very simple and just a little repetitive, so it's a great reader. The stories are short which means that I don't have to read the whole book before bedtime if I don't want to. And Toad is a bit of a grump sometimes, which saves it from being saccharine.
