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?
