Frog and Toad are Friends Original Sketch. de Lobel, Arnold - 1970

1970. Original sketch on archival paper of Toad, from the Lobel's beloved Frog and Toad series. One page, the sketch would be feathered on page 18 of Lobel's Frog and Toad Are Friends [New York: Harper & Row, 1970]. In fine condition. From the artist's estate. Rare. Written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel, each book in the Frog and Toad series contains five simple, often humorous, sometimes poignant, short stories chronicling the exploits of the anthropomorphic frog and a toad. Some of their adventures include attempting to fly a kite, cleaning Toad's dirty house instead of postponing the chores to the next day, and finding out different reasons for isolation.
