* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In "The Dream", while it's supposed to be dramatic and sad because every impressive thing Toad does on the stage that Frog can't makes him shrink more and more, Toad eventually realizing this and cutting off the announcer by yelling out a BigShutUp to the announcer would instantly make a child laugh with both the shock of the moment as well as illustration of Toad's angry face while shaking his fist.

* AccidentalAesop: In "Spring", Frog manages to wake Toad up from hibernation and get him to go outside with him thanks to ripping up his calendar and lying to him that it's May (even though the story is set in April). While the story's intended moral is to stop sleeping all the time and to get out of the house every once in a while, given Frog's actions and motivations, it's not hard to also interpret the message as being that sometimes you have to lie to get what you want.

Those still upset about a child’s book should consider the actual natural histories of such amphibians; necrotic sex, cannibalism, amplexus balls, and other weirdness common in Toad and Frog existences would be insanely perverse if anthopomorphized in children’s reading matter. Just be grateful no one has done an illustrated book on that.

Apparently, Lobel being gay is rumor (he was married to Anita Lobel with children) due to his death from AIDS.
