The tension in the exceedingly short story is that Frog won’t recognize Toad, that he’ll run away in fear after all this trouble his friend has gone to. His new mask makes him look like a monster, causing other creatures to flee and warn Frog of the “thing with horns” (ice-cream cones). Toad volunteers to go get it, but as he walks back with two cones of chocolate ice cream, the heat causes them to melt onto his head, covering his face and attracting debris such as leaves and sticks.
On a hot summer day, Frog and Toad sit by the pond and wish for ice cream.
In Lobel’s original, the story is simple. The second episode of Apple TV+’s new kids’ series Frog and Toad adapts a lovely vignette titled “Ice Cream” from Arnold Lobel’s book Frog and Toad All Year.
