I admit that the Frog and Toad books are not my favourite picture books, but I will say that this particular one is bumped up to three stars solely because of the "Cookies" story. I am sad to admit that - as annoying as I sometimes find both our amphibian friends - when it comes to cookies I might as well be them. I have no will power and, like Toad, I'd rather make a cake. 

Frog, of course, feeds the cookies to the birds, which is exactly what I'd expect from someone who, in the previous book, nags his friend out of a sleep-in. I'd say that Toad has a lot to put up with, but after listening to him whine about lists and gardens, maybe Frog got rid of the cookies in the hope of some peace and quiet, in which case they deserve each other.
