"Toads And Frogs" is a story that explores the similarities and differences between frogs and toads. The story highlights their similarities as amphibians and their distinct differences. Both species begin life as tadpoles and lay eggs in or near water, but frogs remain closer to their watery environments while most toads move away. Frogs are slender with teeth and smooth skin, while toads are bulkier, toothless, and have dry, warty skin. Frogs excel in long jumps with strong hind legs and round, bulging eyes, whereas toads are adapted for shorter hops. Socially, frogs congregate in "armies" and "ribbit choirs," while toads form "knots" and are more nocturnal. Despite their outward similarities, frogs and toads maintain distinct characteristics that set them apart as separate species.
