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

Frank, an adventurous little frog, is playing with his friends, when suddenly his ball flies off and bounces into the house of a giant. Frank's friends are too scared to help him get his ball back, so he sneaks into the huge house all by himself. Little Frank hopes he can find his ball before the big giant comes back.

Frog joins cousins Jack and Jill in leaving their own stories to seek a magic mirror, encountering such creatures as giants, mermaids, and goblins along the way. Based in part on fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

Bumble and Bee buzz around the pond, playing make believe, and trying to tempt Froggy to participate in their games.

Joe the frog wants to be on the go, but even at a family reunion he is out of luck, as everyone says they are too busy, or he is too fast, too slow, too big, or too small to go with them, until Grandma invites him to go with her on a special outing. "¡Joe quiere jugar, jugar y jugar! ¡Pero todos los parientes que están en el picnic le dicen que no, no y no! ¿Será posible que Joe tenga un buen día gracias a su abuela?" - Back cover.
