书籍简介

《青蛙和蟾蜍正在尽力而为》的故事充满了讽刺幽默和对我们现代人脆弱性的深切同情，很好地捕捉了洛贝尔有名的两栖动物朋友的温暖人心的真实性，同时揭示了我们当今生活世界的尖锐真相。 通过《青蛙和蟾蜍》，我们看到了贯穿我们日常生活的焦虑，从我们善意但常常失败的自我保健尝试，到我们努力平衡技术的恩赐和负担。 蟾蜍思考各种可疑的方案来还清信用卡，而青蛙则花费太多时间在手机上滚动新闻源。 尽管他们每天都会遇到挫折和生存问题，但他们知道，有一个朋友来分担生活的负担，即使是黑暗的日子也会变得更加光明。

Full of wry humor and deep compassion for our modern vulnerabilities, the stories in Frog and Toad Are Doing Their Best perfectly capture the heartwarming authenticity of Lobel’s famous amphibian friends while revealing razor-sharp truths about the world we live in today. Through Frog and Toad, we see the anxieties that are woven throughout our everyday existence, from our well-meaning but often-failed attempts at practicing self-care to our struggle to balance the gifts and burdens of technology. Toad ponders a variety of questionable schemes to pay off his credit cards, while Frog spends too much time scrolling through the newsfeed on his phone. But despite their daily frustrations and existential concerns, they know that having a friend to share life’s burdens makes even dark days brighter.
