I thought as I read this book that it seemed oddly familiar. The dedication at the front explained all; 'for dear old Frog and Toad' it says, but it might as well be about dear old Frog and Toad since it's written in almost the same style. The two characters share Frog and Toad's habit of speaking in short, formal sentences, their relationship is very much the same, even the happenings which revolve around greed, laziness, affection and friendship are alike and they're similarly quietly humorous. The book is good value for money, nicely produced and illustrated. If you've been wishing for some time that Frog and Toad could have further adventures, this will be the next best thing.
