Rob Hoegee, known best for his work on Teen Titans for Cartoon Network, is the showrunner, and Titmouse, responsible for productions including Baby Shark’s Big Show!, Big Mouth, Animaniacs, and more, will handle the animation. I already like that previews seem to honor the simple original color palette. Perhaps thanks to our recent falling-in-love, a series adaptation of the books is coming to AppleTV+, premiering Friday, April 28. It opened on Broadway in 2003, and was nominated for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score at the 2003 Tony Awards. The musical was written by Robert and Willie Reale and Lobel’s husband, actor Mark Linn-Baker, would later play Toad. He liked illustrating much more than writing, which he found much more uncomfortable, but he loved infusing his stories for kids with cute animals, humor, and simplicity.Ī Year with Frog and Toad, a musical based on the series, was commissioned by Adrianne Lobel (who also designed the set). I also had and loved Mouse Soup (1977), in which a mouse struggles to not be eaten by a fox, for which he won the Garden State Children’s Book Award from the New Jersey Library Association.Īll together, Lobel wrote and/or illustrated more than 100 books, including 25 in the I Can Read series. The book combined ridiculous fun stories with morals, and was a tremendous success. Lobel won the 1981 Caldecott from the American Library Association for Fables, which I remember primarily as the book with a bear on the cover who has a frying pan on his head.
