Biography

Arnold Lobel (1933-1987) was a Caldecott Medalist who illustrated more than seventy picture books during his career, writing twenty-eight of them. His books feature all kinds of animals—pigs, mice, cats, baboons, elephants, owls, alligators—but he is probably best known for his four award-winning I Can Read books: Frog and Toad Are Friends, Frog and Toad Together, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad. These beloved characters, who have taught countless kids to love reading, grew out of stories Arnold Lobel told his young daughter, Adrianne Lobel.
