Description
Description
A thoughtful and whimsical picture book about Arnold Lobel, award-winning creator of Frog and Toad. Arnold Lobel was many things: a quiet observer, an avid reader, and the kind of man who kept a gorilla suit in his closet, just in case. Above all else, Arnold was an artist and a storyteller. And he infused pieces of himself in the characters he created. This made sharing his books with the world scary sometimes--but his stories would go on to inspire and delight readers and live on in their hearts for generations. A rare window into the life and work of Arnold Lobel, creator of the Frog and Toad series, Outside In and the Inside Out captures the iconic creator of some of the most beloved children's books of all time.

★ "In her first nonfiction picture book, Kastner fashions an utterly charming biography of Arnold Lobel, creator of the classic children's series Frog and Toad. A welcome addition to library collections." --Booklist, starred review "[A] tender look at the life of beloved children's book creator Arnold Lobel." --Publishers Weekly "Kastner offers a zippy, playful biography of Lobel that is as quirky and inviting as the man himself, covering a fair amount of biographical detail while emulating the style and format of Lobel's classics." --BCCB
