Frog and Toad: The Kite

Once upon a time there were two good friends, a frog and a toad…

Frog and Toad went out to fly a kite, but getting it to fly was harder than they thought!

The much-loved Frog and Toad stories were written and illustrated Arnold Lobel and have been loved by generations.

Children can recap the story on pages 14–15 by exploring each attempt the characters made at getting the kite to fly, providing lots of speaking and listening opportunities.
