Frog and Toad are Cofounders

I hadn't heard of the source material (perhaps more/only well-known in the US?) but I presume it refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_and_Toad

Some insightful parables either way, though!

I didn't know about that book and assumed it was a reference to Wind in the Willows. Thanks for looking it up!

I did as well. I assume it's a function of being older and having a British mother :-)

I did too, despite being American.

huh! I had also assumed that. I was pretty confused, but as I hadn't read Wind in the Willows in a while, I gave it a pass :)

Yes, these are beloved children stories from the 70s here in America. Arnold Lobel was one of the true greats.
