They finally get back to Toad's house, and Toad angrily stomps back inside, only to find the button on his floor. They retrace their steps, looking for the button, but they keep finding a whole bunch of buttons that aren't his, and Toad puts them in his jacket pocket. The next one is called "A Lost Button." Toad and Frog go for a walk, and when they come back to Toad's house, Toad realizes he's lost one of the buttons on his jacket. And Toad is asleep before he finishes the story. It's like the incredibly boring book, "Three By the Sea" by Edward Marshall. Frog says, "Would you like me to tell you a story?" and then Toad says "Yes, if you know one." And then Frog tells him the story of what just happened. I'm feeling much better." Toad decides to get in bed because he feels terrible now (presumably due to banging his head against the wall repeatedly). Then Frog says, "No, no, no, don't worry about it. He bangs his head against the wall, but he can't think of a story. He pours water on his head, but he can't think of a story. He stands on his head, but he can't think of a story. He walks up and down the porch, but he can't think of a story. Frog requests a story, and then Toad tries to think of a story and he can't. Why doesn't he tell Frog to get into Frog's bed? I guess Frog always comes over to Toad's house. Toad tells him, "Get into my bed and rest." Which is kind of odd. The second one is called "The Story." It's summer. He tears off all the pages until he gets to May, and then goes to Toad and claims it's May. Frog makes him come outside, but Toad goes back inside to bed, saying "How long have I been asleep?" "Since November." "Come back again and wake me up at about half past May." Frog is upset because he's going to be lonely until then, so he goes and looks at Toad's calendar which is still on November. The first one is called "Spring." Frog runs up to Toad's house and says, "Wake up! It's spring!" Toad doesn't want to get out of bed. It literally has five chapters, although they're all disjointed, like little short stories that aren't in any particular order and don't reference each other. This is really a chapter book, when I'm used to reviewing picture books.
