There are two songs that do not correspond directly to a specific story in the book but are still in the show. The song “A Year With Frog and Toad” serves as a narrative device for the musical and is sung by the Birds. It sets up the audience for what they are about to see and introduces the main characters of Frog and Toad. The song returns twice; accompanying the migration of the Birds and showing the passing of seasons.

The running joke of Snail singing “The Letter” pays off with a new song, “I’m Coming Out Of My Shell” in which he expresses his pride in his accomplishment in delivering the letter.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

During his distinguished career, Arnold Lobel wrote and/or illustrated over 70 books for children. To his illustrating credit, he had a Caldecott Medal book -- Fables (1981) -- andtwo Caldecott Honor Books -- his own Frog and Toad are Friends (1971) and Hildilid’s Night by Cheli Duran Ryan (1972). To his writing

credit, he had a Newbery Honor Book -- Frogand Toad Together (1973). But to his greatest credit, he had a following of literally millions of young children with whom he shared the warmth and humor of his unpretentious vision of life. A born storyteller -- he began making up stories extemporaneously to entertain his fellow second-graders in Schenectady, New York, where he grew up in the care of his grandparents. Mr. Lobel called himself a “lucky amateur” in terms of his writing. Viewing himself as a professionally trained illustrator (he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute), he said, “I know how to draw pictures. With writing, I don’t really know what I’m doing. It’s very intuitive.”

In 1977, Mr. Lobel and his wife, Anita, a distinguished children’s book author and artist inher own right, collaborated on their first book, How the Rooster Saved the Day, chosen bySchool Library Journal as one of the Best Books of the Year, 1977. They then collaborated onthree more books, A Treeful of Pigs, a 1979 ALA Notable Book; On Market Street, a 1982Caldecott Honor Book; and The Rose in My Garden, a 1984 Boston Globe/Horn Book HonorBook.
