Synopsis 

       As the birds return from their winter vacation in the South, Frog and Toad,who are still hibernating, dream of their friendship and the happy times they willhave in the coming year. Frog manages to convince Toad that spring has arrived,and the impatient Toad tries to persuade some newly-planted seeds to grow in record time.           
       Then, Frog discovers that Toad never gets mail, writes him a letter, and asks Snail to deliver it.           
       When summer comes, the two friends go to the pond for a swim. Toad is so worried about the way he looks in his bathing suit that he stays in the water until he cannot stand the cold anymore. When they see him, all the nearby animals have to agree that Toad, in a bathing suit, is a comical sight.           
       Later, Toad worries that Frog, who is spending the day on an island, is sad. He makes quite an effort to cheer him up but discovers that his friend needs some “alone time” to enjoy his happy thoughts.           
       Meanwhile, Snail continues on his mission to deliver the letter.           
       As the year progresses, the two best friends eat too many cookies, fly kites, rake each other’s leaves, and shiver at a scary story. By winter, they try sledding, with a disastrous result. Fortunately, Snail delivers his first letter, feels proud, and smoothes the bumpy road of friendship for Frog and Toad. After a special Christmas Eve, the old friends settle down to dream their dreams and wait for spring.

            Through the year, in happy and sad times, Frog and Toad accept their differences and show the special care that best friends have for each other. Most of all, they know that most of the time, life is a lot more fun with a best friend.
