Frog and Toad & Children's Literature


This week is the start of SDCC's Spring Musical "A Year with Frog & Toad."

We in the library have a small exhibit of Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad series, including Frog and Toad are friends (1970) a Caledcott Honor book & Days with Frog and Toad (1979).

In support of the Children's Literature class, the library has a large collection of children's books, including the Caldecott (picture books) and Newbery (children's fiction) winners and also books about children's literature.

But I'm too old to read children's books, you think to yourself. Well, to quote C.S. Lewis from his preface in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to his godchild Lucy Barfield,

"...But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."


So come in and checkout our children's literature collection. You might be surprised to find an old friend or two there.
