Frog & Toad - Cookies by Arnold Lobel

from Lil' Philosophers · host Josh

Episode # 14: Frog & Toad “Cookies” by Albert Lobel Toad makes the most wonderful cookies and decides to share them with his best friend Frog. They are so good they have a hard time stopping but learn a little something about will power in the process. Or do they? Challenge your thoughts on: Why does Toad take the cookies to Frog? How do the same things taste good or bad to different people? Why do Toad and Frog want to eat things they know aren’t good for them? What is will-power? Who do you think has more will-power Frog or Toad? Are Frog and Toad practicing will-power if they keep coming up with ways to get the cookies? At the end, Frog says they have lots and lots of will-power. Is will power something you can keep? Is will-power trying not to do something or actually stopping yourself from doing something? What are the good things that come from using will power? What do you need to keep yourself from doing something you want?
