Frog and Toad

TV show · 2023

This warm, hand-drawn Apple TV+ series brings Arnold Lobel's beloved books to life, following best friends Frog and Toad through gentle everyday adventures rooted in kindness, patience, and loyalty. Nearly every episode is wholesome and very calm, with just a small handful of mildly spooky or tense moments spread across the two seasons.

A lovely fit from toddlers through early elementary, roughly ages 2 to 7.

Episodes to know about

Peril & tensionS1E3 ('Dragons and Giants' segment)Mild

Frog and Toad climb a mountain to prove their bravery, encountering a snake, a hawk, and an avalanche; the mood is more dramatic than any other Season 1 episode, though it ends with the friends safely back home and laughing.

Loud or startling soundsS1E3 ('Dragons and Giants' segment)Mild

The mountain-climb sequence uses unusually tense, sweeping orchestral music and howling wind effects that are notably louder and more dramatic than the show's typically gentle soundtrack.

Behavior modeledS1E1 ('Cookies' segment)Mild

Frog and Toad eat a whole batch of cookies without thinking to offer any to nearby friends; a nice low-key conversation starter about sharing and noticing others.
