Frog and Toad face modern-day worries

Jennie Egerdie recasts Frog and Toad as companions navigating recognizable pressures of contemporary life. Across a collection of stories, the pair encounter self-care that doesn’t go to plan, the pull of phone-based news, and Toad’s schemes for dealing with credit-card debt. The familiar friendship gives these everyday anxieties a shared frame: the book pairs humor about modern vulnerabilities with the idea that burdens are easier to bear with a friend. Presented as an adult parody, it draws on the recognizable amphibian duo to look at technology, money worries, and the gap between good intentions and daily habits.

Book overview

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.
