Apple TV+ released the trailer for Frog and Toad, the highly anticipated animated kids and family series based on the beloved Caldecott and Newbery Honor-winning four-book series by Arnold Lobel, premiering on Friday, April 28. Frog is a frog. Toad is a toad. They have a lot in common… but they are also very different.
