Critics Review

“A very clever, fun concept brought beautifully to life by Jennie Egerdie. It’s sweet and it’s charming and I loved it and so will you. Just wish Frog and Toad were in our nation’s capital right now to solve some of our ‘issues.’”–Mike Sacks, author of Stinker Lets Loose, StanLand, and The Return of Sno Topp
“Frog and Toad’s friendship has always been timeless. But thanks to Jennie’s genius, this book makes them time travelers too!”–Taylor Kay Phillips, writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
“Full of charm, warmth, and humor, Frog and Toad Make History is a delightful reminder that, while time marches on, some things stay the same.Empires rise and fall, but good friendship (and good cookies) will always
remain essential.”–Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance and Don’t Say Good Luck (Netflix)
“I can assure you that famed historical figures Napoleon, Cleopatra, Mansa Musa, and Abraham Lincoln all loved this book. You could ask them, but luckily for me they are all dead.”–Felipe Torres Medina, staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
“In a world where kindness is so desperately needed, to spend time with Frog and Toad in this gentle but hilarious romp is a gift beyond measure. Egerdie and Hadju are true stewards of Lobel’s ethos, and we are all the better for the
work of their generous hearts and capable hands.”–Emily Flake, author and The New Yorker cartoonist
“Jennie Egerdie has done it again with another heartwarming and hilarious reinvention of Arnold Lobel’s beloved books. Frog and Toad Make History is a delightfully funny testament to the power of friendship and love–for both amphibians and non-amphibians alike.”–Chris Monks, editor, McSweeney’s
“Jennie Egerdie is somehow able to make me laugh uproariously one moment then feel warm and fuzzy the next. It’s like being in a warm bath that’s also in the basement of a comedy club.”–Johnathan Appel, writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
“Reading this is like being enveloped in a warm blanket that also makes you laugh out loud. You will cherish this book.”–Carlos Greaves, coauthor of Obey in Advance: How to Survive (and Thrive) Under Authoritarianism
“Witty and delightfully cozy, Jennie Egerdie’s book will make you laugh out loud, feel better about life, and wish that you had an amphibian friend to wait out the bubonic plague with.”–Jiji Lee, writer, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Onion
