Frog and Toad
by Unknown
Buy on AmazonI’ve always strongly identified with Toad from “Frog and Toad.” Especially in the story in which he won’t get out of the river because he doesn’t want anyone to see him looking funny in his bathing suit — and thereby attracts the attention of the nearby lizards, dragonflies, field mouse, etc. — he’s so completely the ridiculous instigator of his own problems.
