Frog and Toad are Doing Their Best [A Parody]

In the tradition of hilarious picture book parodies like Oh the Meetings You'll Go To and Goodnight iPad, this Frog and Toad parody appeals to our collective nostalgia and modern struggles.

---

At home, work, and out in our ever-changing world, we're all just doing our best. In this modern parody, Frog and Toad are here to commiserate and lend some laughter.

Full of wry humor and deep compassion for our modern vulnerabilities, the stories in Frog and Toad Are Doing Their Best perfectly capture the heartwarming authenticity of Lobel's famous amphibian friends while revealing razor-sharp truths about the world we live in today. Through Frog and Toad, we see the anxieties that are woven throughout our everyday existence, from our well-meaning but often-failed attempts at practicing self-care to our struggle to balance the gifts and burdens of technology. Toad ponders a variety of questionable schemes to pay off his credit cards, while Frog spends too much time scrolling through the newsfeed on his phone. But despite their daily frustrations and existential concerns, they know that having a friend to share life's burdens makes even the darkest days brighter.

"I love children's literature, so of course I love Frog and Toad and I laughed out loud reading this spoof about the pair's new adventures."
-GRETCHEN RUBIN, five time New York Times bestselling author
