Welcome to our Web site!
Dear Readers,
Please take some time to enjoy our class book, The Adventures of Frog and Toad. St. Martha's second grade students wrote and illustrated this book after we read Arnold Lobell's Frog and Toad Are Friends. We had so much fun reading about Frog and Toad that we thought it would be fun to make up some of our own adventures. Enjoy!

Barbecued Flies
|
One Friday morning Toad woke up. I think I will have barbecued flies
today. He went outside. He went to Frog's house. He told
him the news. "Can I come?", said Frog. "O.k.",
said Toad. "But how do we get Flies", asked Frog.
"I know", said Frog, "a claw". "No", said
Toad, "a net". A net worked and then they ate.

When Toad woke up it was Valentine's Day! Oh, no! What will
I do? I do not have a present for Frog. I know I will cook
flies! I know he likes barbecued ones! I will get a box like
a heart and put the flies in it. I think I will dye the flies red.
Now that I am done I can go to Frog's house.

One day Frog invited Toad over to his house to have barbecued flies.
When Toad got there he found a bunch of flies. "Go get a big
jar and get the flies", shouted Frog. When they got all the
flies they took a fly swatter and swatted all the flies and cooked all
the flies. "Toad, go in the basement because I will do something
weird to the flies". When they were done they feasted.
But Toad said, "I do not like them". Then he took the last one
and said "Did you put them on fire?" Frog said, "Yes".
Then Toad ran out the door.

Playing Leap Frog 
| One
day Frog and Toad went to a meadow to play Leap Frog. "But I
am not a Frog!, said Toad. "Hmmmm", thought Frog.
"I will help you!", he said. "Let's go to my house!",
said Frog. So they did and when they got there Toad waited for three hours.
Then Frog explained what Leap Frog was about. They went back to the
meadow and played the game. The End.

One
day Toad said, "What a nice day to play leap frog." So he went
to ask his friend, Frog. "Frog would you like to play leap frog
with me?" "Sure", Frog said. When they got to
the meadow, Toad shouted, "Leap, Frog, Leap!" "Toad",
said Frog, "That is not how you play leap frog". "How?,
asked Toad. "Like this", said Frog as he leaped. They had
a great time playing leap frog.

One fine day Frog went for a walk and thought about what he wanted to do.
So he thought and thought and finally he got and idea. He was going
to ask Toad if he wanted to play Leap Frog at the pond. So he went
right to Toad's house. When Frog reached Toad's house he went right
in without knocking because the door was open. "Hello",
said Frog. "Would you like to go to the pond and play leap frog?"
"Well...", said Toad. But, before he could finish, Frog
said, "O.K. I'll meet you at the pond at 5:30". Frog was
out of sight then. Toad was now worried because he did not know how
to play Leap Frog, but he decided to go to the pond at 5:30 as he was told.
It was time to go to the pond. Toad started to go on his way.
Toad got there and there was Frog dancing on a lily pad. "Frog",
shouted Toad. "Oh", said Frog, "you're here."
"Now, lets play some Leap Frog." "Well", Frog
said, "Toad, I don't know how to play Leap Frog." "You
don't. Oh well. I'll teach you", said Frog. "OK.",
said Toad. "I'd like that." So the happy friends
played Leap Frog in the pond.

Once Toad and Frog were going to the park. They had lots of fun.
They went swimming and played tag and hide-and-go-seek. "It's
getting dark", said Frog. "Let's go home." Can
you sleep over?", said Toad. "Sure, but I will have to
get my things", said Frog. They both went to Toad's house and watched
a video about a ghost who lived in a haunted house. "I'm getting
tired", said Frog. "Let's go to bed". "O.K.",
said Toad. "Good-night", said Toad. "Good night",
said Frog. Then Toad had a nightmare! There were ghosts, mummies
and monsters. Toad woke up Frog. "Frog, Frog, a monster
is after me!" "What's the matter", said Frog.
"I'm scared", said Toad. "It's not real. It's
just pretend", said Frog. "Oh!", said Toad. "I
thought it was real, but thanks anyway". They both went back
to sleep and sweet dreams.

Frog and Toad are sitting at home thinking about something to do.
Toad said, "Frog, do you want to go to a campground?"
"Sure", said Frog. "We have to pack our clothes and
get our tent." Then they were there by night time. They set
up their tent. Toad said, "I am tired." "Ok",
said Frog. Frog got the tent ready and then they put their sleeping
bag down and went to sleep. When Frog got in his sleeping bag he
saw Toad shaking. Frog got the cooler. He got water and poured
it over Toad's head. Toad woke up. Toad said, "I had a
night mare", and then he said, "I want to stay up all night."
Frog and Toad played games all night.

One day Frog was going to sleep and a monster jumped up. Frog was so scared
that it was morning, he wouldn't come out of his bedroom. Toad knocked
on his bedroom door and he said, "What's the matter?" "Last
night a monster jumped out and I was scared. Then it went away."
"Did you have a nightmare?" "I don't know."
Now, it's time to go to bed", said Frog. So Toad got back on
his costume and this time Frog saw Toad because his stomach was sticking
out. Frog said, "Is that you?" Toad said, "Yes, I'm
sorry I scared you". They lived happily ever after.

"Let's go camping!", said Toad. "O.K.", said
Frog, who was just getting up. "I mean do we have to?",
asked Frog. "Yes, we have to Frog!", said Toad. "I'll
go get the tent.", said Frog. "Lets go!", said Toad.
"I am ready", said Toad. "I am also", said Frog.
"Here we go!", said Toad. Frog and Toad went up to the
pond to camp and set up their tent. "Now let's go to bed",
said Frog. O.K.", said Toad. They slept for an hour. Toad
woke up and woke up Frog because Toad had a nightmare. It was about
a ghost and the ghost attacked Toad. Frog was cranky. Would
you like to be awakened in the night? No, you wouldn't. Frog
told Toad that he was acting like a baby and told him he was going home
if he did this any more. Toad didn't want to be all alone in the
night so he went to bed and his nightmare was over.
