They are clearly \u003ci\u003etotally\u003c\/i\u003e different from each other. So when an unlucky fly mistakes Frog and Toad for two \u003ci\u003efrogs\u003c\/i\u003e, the two are determined to set the record straight. After all, Toad is obviously stronger, while Frog is unmistakably the superior hopper . . . and before long, things start to get a bit heated among the amphibian population in the swamp. But when the two rivals have a close encounter with a snappy alligator, both Frog and Toad see the benefit of joining forces. Perhaps they're not \u003ci\u003eso \u003c\/i\u003edifferent after all? In his authorial debut, author-illustrator Ben Mantle offers a laugh-out-loud look at putting aside differences and celebrating the fact that friends come in all shapes and sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Mantle\u003c\/b\u003e worked in animation, including on Tim Burton's \u003ci\u003eCorpse Bride\u003c\/i\u003e, before turning to children's illustration.
