Five tales recounting the adventures of two best friends - Frog and Toad.

Cumulative rhymed text explains what might happen if you had a giraffe that stretched another half, put on a hat in which lived a rat that looked cute in a suit, and so on. Delightfully zany rhymes about a giraffe who accumulates some ridiculous things--like glue on his shoe and a bee on his knee--only to lose them again, one by one. Infectiously funny ... a good nonsensical text and illustrations.

Because she does exactly as she is told, Amelia Bedelia is fired from one job after another.
