My family and I were summering by a lake in Vermont. One day I came in from the woods with a small animal in the palm of my hand. "What a nice frog you have," said my father. "This is not a frog," I replied. "This is a toad." And I explained all of the differences in appearnace and life style between these two amphibians. Not long after that, the first Frog and Toad book was born.
